Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureD-
The Falcons fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Falcons did exactly that with Kendall Milton in the 247th pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Adding Justin Fields by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 10th pick they get a premier pass rusher, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in the 55th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A reasonable price with a little left over, Leonard Taylor III in Round 3, Pick 10. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at No. 110 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick147 Rnd5 Payton Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Payton Wilson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jaylon Carlies
Jaylon Carlies at slot 188 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick231 Rnd7 Christian Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Christian Jones in No. 231, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton at the 247th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
