Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Falcons let McGlothern fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Dwight McGlothern slide, and the Falcons were the ones holding the card at the Round 7 slot. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. With running back and linebacker unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Hall lower, and that gap is the story.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 15 they get a bendy edge with upside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
No edge and no loss on J.J. McCarthy in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ladd McConkey at No. 49 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
Circle this one: T.J. Tampa at the 74th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick79 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They read the board right and Patrick Paul was the payoff at the 79th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk slipping to pick No. 82 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They bypassed pressing needs at running back and linebacker to take Cam Hart, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 16, where Jalen McMillan graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick142 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in pick No. 142 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at slot 148 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick199 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They paid up for Gabe Hall at No. 199 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the 232nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
