Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
King should have been long gone. The Falcons pounced, and earned a B.

The Falcons spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kalen King, the No. 41 name on the board, in Round 3, Pick 10. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If Tupuola-Fetui pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in the 43rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kalen King
Kalen King at slot 74 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the 109th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick145 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zion Tupuola-Fetui in Round 5, Pick 9, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford is a better player than pick 189 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A conviction pick on Tanor Bortolini at No. 201 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at pick No. 244 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
