Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Falcons.

Every other box got a look, but interior defensive lineman did not. The Falcons will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

The Thrash pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The Jackson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick 8 they get juice off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
By-the-book stuff, Kris Jenkins at the 43rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
No edge and no loss on Sedrick Van Pran in the 74th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They jumped the gun on Khyree Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick109 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
They paid a round early for Spencer Rattler in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at No. 143 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick187 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
They paid sticker price for Johnny Dixon in pick No. 187, and that is fine. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick197 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson slid further than he should have, and slot 197 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
