Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureA+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Falcons: B+.

The war room fell hard for Jared Wiley, and it showed at slot 142: 58 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The Trotter Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Leighton Vander Esch gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 21 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value.
Pick24 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 24th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Keon Coleman at the 48th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They paid sticker price for Michael Hall Jr. in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They will replay Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick No. 80 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick 87 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
A big swing on Jared Wiley at pick 142, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
A quiet steal in No. 160: Justin Eboigbe for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick173 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They let Mason McCormick come to them and pounced at slot 173. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick257 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
Nice patience on LaDarius Henderson, who had no business lasting to Round 7, Pick 39. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
