Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB
The Falcons let King fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Kobe King at No. 238 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The cost of the Kennard reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They barely believed it either: Jalon Walker still on the board at pick No. 46. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in pick 58 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick117 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in Round 4, Pick 16 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 122nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach No. 135 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick175 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in slot 175 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Kobe King
Circle this one: Kobe King at the 238th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
