Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Falcons. For now, C+.

The Falcons went off the board in a big way for Maliq Carr, 76 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: tight end settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Hit on Jack Sawyer and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In pick No. 15 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey in Round 2, Pick 14 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick116 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
They did well to land Chris Paul Jr. in slot 116, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242 Rnd7 Maliq Carr
They reached a country mile for Maliq Carr at pick 242, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
