Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureA+
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Falcons a B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Falcons took Christian Jones a full 24 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That Green pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 20th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 25th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick74 Rnd3 Javon Baker
A reach for Javon Baker in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick98 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Renardo Green in Round 3, Pick 35 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109 Rnd4 Christian Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Christian Jones this early at pick No. 109. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
They took Justin Eboigbe at par in pick 143, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They went early on Curtis Jacobs in No. 187, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
