Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Falcons, and a C+ to match.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Spencer Rattler at slot 74, a reach of 44 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. However the rest shakes out, Johnson at that price is a win they earned.

If Jared Verse and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 8 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
They reached into another round for Mike Sainristil, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick74 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler at pick No. 74 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in Round 3, Pick 15 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A big swing on Jordan Travis at No. 143, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187 Rnd6 Logan Lee
A real head-scratcher, Logan Lee in slot 187 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A quiet steal in the 197th pick: Cornelius Johnson for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
