Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB+
The Falcons won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Falcons ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The Falcons indulged a want in Jackson while a need in running back, tight end and other spots stayed open. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
They took Nate Wiggins at par in Round 1, Pick 20, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Braswell. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick45 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at No. 45 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick50 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
A reach for Javon Bullard in slot 50; a little patience would have been rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick74 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
No drama and no debate, Xavier Legette went about where he belonged in the 74th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 3 slot on Khyree Jackson with running back, tight end and other spots unsolved.
Pick108 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
By-the-book stuff, Mekhi Wingo at pick 108 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at running back, tight end and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick143 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They let Christian Jones come to them and pounced at pick No. 143. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick197 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick199 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They did well to land Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in Round 6, Pick 24, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
