Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Falcons: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Falcons started one anyway for Jordan Travis, 30 picks ahead of schedule.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner at Round 1, Pick 8 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at No. 43 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in the 74th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick79 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the 79th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
No drama and no debate, Cedric Gray went about where he belonged in pick No. 109. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
They talked themselves into Jordan Travis at slot 143, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in No. 187 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 Evan Williams
Evan Williams at pick No. 197 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
