Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Falcons.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Falcons spent the 197th overall pick on Zion Logue, a name most had 89 spots down the list. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 8 they get juice off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Spencer Rattler
A big swing on Spencer Rattler at Round 2, Pick 11, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Value said wait; Brenden Rice in slot 74 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the 79th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They talked themselves into Justin Eboigbe at the 109th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in pick 143 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick187 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A premium they did not need to pay, Joe Milton III a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick197 Rnd6 Zion Logue
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zion Logue this early at pick 197. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
