Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons robbed the room for Jackson. Final grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Khyree Jackson had no business being available in pick No. 109, and the Falcons did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. The Bertrand reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick No. 8 they get a seam-stretching tight end at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
They robbed the room for Nate Wiggins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick74 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard slipping to Round 3, Pick 10 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick79 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
The board had Patrick Paul higher than the 79th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 109 on Khyree Jackson with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved.
Pick143 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
A wild overpay on Marist Liufau in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick197 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in pick 197 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
