Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesA FutureD-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Falcons: C+.

The Falcons put a flag in the ground for Josh Proctor, 42 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Hit on Terrion Arnold and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick 11 they get a sticky cover corner, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick42 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
The board had cheaper options than T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 10, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick43 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
They paid a round early for Ja'Lynn Polk in the 43rd overall pick, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in No. 109 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick129 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at slot 129 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
They reached a country mile for Josh Proctor at slot 145, and the board is aghast. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick189 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick201 Rnd6 Sheridan Jones
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sheridan Jones. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Robert Lewis
A real head-scratcher, Robert Lewis in pick No. 244 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
