Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nussmeier should have been long gone. The Falcons pounced, and earned a B.

The board owed the Falcons one, and it paid up: Garrett Nussmeier, the No. 81 name on the board, sitting there at the 215th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 David Bailey
Taking David Bailey in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Avieon Terrell
Steal is underselling it; Avieon Terrell at pick 79 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick122 Rnd4 Carnell Tate
Somehow Carnell Tate was still sitting there in the 122nd pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215 Rnd6 Garrett Nussmeier
Garrett Nussmeier at Round 6, Pick 34 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at pick No. 231 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
