Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD FutureA+
The Falcons did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Falcons treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 196 on Jaylen Harrell a full 25 spots early.

The Falcons indulged a want in Solomon while a need in running back stayed open. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Coleman.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In slot 18 they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.
Pick43 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in pick 43 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Keon Coleman at No. 53. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
No drama and no debate, Mekhi Wingo went about where he belonged in pick No. 107. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
A surprising call. With running back still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They jumped the gun on Cedric Gray, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick142 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
By-the-book stuff, Roger Rosengarten at No. 142 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylen Harrell this early at pick No. 196. The roster fit checks out.
