Jareo DRAFTING FOR THEFalcons
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Falcons

The Falcons cashed the board's mistake on Travis: B. The Falcons spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jordan Travis, the No. 172 name on the board, in the 197th pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the 8th overall pick they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
They did well to land Tyler Nubin in slot 43, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick74
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
A reasonable price with a little left over, Patrick Paul in pick No. 74. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
By-the-book stuff, Brandon Dorlus at No. 79 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in the 109th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick143
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at pick 143 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick187
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Steal is underselling it; Kamal Hadden at Round 6, Pick 12 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick197
Rnd6
Jordan Travis
A quarterback of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
