Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Falcons a B.

The war room fell hard for Lideatrick Griffin, and it showed at pick No. 197: 70 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Ryan Kelly deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 15th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.
Pick43 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in pick No. 46 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the 74th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick79 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
A big swing on Roger Rosengarten at slot 79, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Value said wait; Tykee Smith in pick 109 says they were not listening. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Travis. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A real head-scratcher, Gabe Hall in the 187th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick197 Rnd6 Lideatrick Griffin
A wild overpay on Lideatrick Griffin in Round 6, Pick 22, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
