Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB+
Grand theft in No. 236: the Falcons steal Edwards and grade out a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Daijun Edwards at Round 7, Pick 16 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Milton III has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They will answer for taking cornerback early while edge rusher and linebacker went begging. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 11 they get a long-term starter on the line, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at pick 74 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Max Melton
They paid sticker price for Max Melton in slot 79, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick96 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Kris Abrams-Draine adds a cornerback and leaves edge rusher and linebacker untouched.
Pick109 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt at Round 4, Pick 9 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Roger Rosengarten in the 143rd pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick157 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joe Milton III. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the 167th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at the 197th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236 Rnd7 Daijun Edwards
They robbed the room for Daijun Edwards here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
