Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Falcons and Wilson: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Payton Wilson at pick 76 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Spending an early pick on cornerback with wide receiver and running back open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

The cost of the All reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They jumped the gun on Braden Fiske, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at pick 74 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 76th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in No. 79 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Caelen Carson at cornerback with wide receiver and running back open.
Pick143 Rnd5 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt in the 143rd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187 Rnd6 Erick All
A premium they did not need to pay, Erick All a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
They liked Drake Nugent enough to skip the value, taking him in the 197th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
