Draft Grade — Falcons

ValueD NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The Mellott reach set a tone the Falcons could not shake: F.

The Falcons did not so much draft Tommy Mellott as overpay for him, 93 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. A weekend to file away and forget, and an F to match.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with running back still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 LT Overton
In No. 19 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A quiet steal in pick 52: Jihaad Campbell for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Tez Johnson at the 95th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Quinn Carroll
Quinn Carroll at Round 5, Pick 31 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tim Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tim Smith this early at slot 204. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Aydan White
A real head-scratcher, Aydan White in the 206th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick239 Rnd7 Tommy Mellott
Value said wait; Tommy Mellott in the 239th pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
