FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Falcons a B. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Dylan McMahon at the 251st overall pick is 42 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That Oladapo pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner at pick 13 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick43
Rnd2
Kamari Lassiter
By-the-book stuff, Kamari Lassiter at slot 43 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick44
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 44; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
A straight-up fair deal on Ja'Lynn Polk at Round 3, Pick 10, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
No drama and no debate, DeWayne Carter went about where he belonged in No. 94. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at slot 131 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in pick No. 143 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick176
Rnd6
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick187
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in Round 6, Pick 12 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211
Rnd6
Keaton Bills
A big swing on Keaton Bills at pick 211, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick215
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
A reach on Frank Gore Jr. in the 215th pick; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick251
Rnd7
Dylan McMahon
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dylan McMahon in the 251st overall pick, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
