Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Larceny in No. 247 lands the Falcons a B, Chestnut and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Falcons watched Duce Chestnut slide 40 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. If Muasau pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 10 they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Nothing to complain about; Troy Fautanu went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in Round 3, Pick 10 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in pick 92; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler is a better player than the 110th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mike Sainristil. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick154 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick188 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at the 188th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204 Rnd6 Darius Muasau
A reach on Darius Muasau in pick No. 204; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at No. 231 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Duce Chestnut
Somehow Duce Chestnut was still sitting there in the 247th overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
