Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Spencer Rattler pick is the one that will follow the Falcons into the fall. They took him 40 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 8th pick they get juice off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Nice patience on Tyler Guyton, who had no business lasting to slot 43. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
They read the board right and Bralen Trice was the payoff at pick No. 74. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick79 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Spencer Rattler well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Michael Hall Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Michael Hall Jr. at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson slipping to No. 143 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in Round 6, Pick 12 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick197 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
They let Ty'Ron Hopper come to them and pounced at the 197th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
