Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Falcons and Helm: B+.

The Falcons did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Gunnar Helm fell into the 116th overall pick. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Michael Pittman Jr. gives the group a proven body among the projects.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with tight end chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In the 15th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick116 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Taking Gunnar Helm in slot 116 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A straight-up fair deal on Shilo Sanders at the 242nd pick, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
