Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB+
The Falcons checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Falcons took Gabe Hall at the Round 6 slot, roughly 27 spots before his name belonged.

Spending an early pick on cornerback with running back, tight end and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Corley.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In No. 10 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold in pick No. 43 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick74 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
They barely believed it either: Malachi Corley still on the board at Round 3, Pick 10. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A quiet steal in the 79th overall pick: Blake Fisher for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cam Hart at cornerback with running back, tight end and other spots open.
Pick113 Rnd4 Malik Washington
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Malik Washington graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
No edge and no loss on Roger Rosengarten in pick No. 143; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A wild overpay on Gabe Hall in the 187th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joe Milton III. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
