Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall D-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Falcons bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

Some picks age like wine; Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at Round 7, Pick 25 will need to, sitting 125 spots clear of his grade. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Trey Amos
By-the-book stuff, Trey Amos at Round 2, Pick 19 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick80 Rnd3 David Walker
David Walker in No. 80 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick82 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 82nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jaylin Noel
Good price on Jaylin Noel in the 150th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
A real head-scratcher, Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins in pick No. 239 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
