Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesC FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Falcons get a C+.

Nobody had Giles Jackson this high, and it is not close. The Falcons reached 89 spots to get him at slot 234. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Mike Green
In slot 29 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Watts at Round 2, Pick 14 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick57 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in the 57th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick95 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at pick 95 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
They jumped the gun on Chris Paul Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick118 Rnd4 David Walker
A real head-scratcher, David Walker in No. 118 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Howard Cross III
A big swing on Howard Cross III at pick 126, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
A reach for Miles Frazier in the 205th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Giles Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Giles Jackson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
