Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Falcons lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

The Falcons spent real capital to be 50 picks early on Thor Griffith, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Shough steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick26 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In No. 26 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in the 55th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They took Ozzy Trapilo at par in pick 86, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Barrett Carter at the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in slot 165 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in Round 6, Pick 3 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Upton Stout
A tidy bit of business in the 201st pick, where Upton Stout graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick244 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached into another round for Thor Griffith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They liked Shilo Sanders enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 253. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
