Gradyent97 DRAFTING FOR THEFalcons
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Falcons

The Falcons kept it disciplined and banked a B-. For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Falcons walked out of the weekend still thin at quarterback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.
The Corley value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will need Ford to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a disruptor off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 43rd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in slot 74 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the 79th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at No. 109 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Value with a capital V on Christian Jones in pick No. 143, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick187
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
Nothing to complain about; Fabien Lovett went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick197
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at pick 197 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
