Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Anim Dankwah at pick 187 will need to, sitting 91 spots clear of his grade. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Spending an early pick on cornerback with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Landing Wiggins that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Steal is underselling it; Nate Wiggins at the 43rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick74 Rnd3 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at No. 74 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Spencer Rattler well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 109 on Jaylin Simpson with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman at the 143rd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187 Rnd6 Anim Dankwah
A wild overpay on Anim Dankwah in Round 6, Pick 12, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in pick No. 197 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
