Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Falcons worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Falcons came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will need Haynesworth to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. However the rest shakes out, Baker at that price is a win they earned.

Adding Justin Fields by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They liked Roman Wilson enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 74. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 109 with a little surplus value in Khyree Jackson. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick145 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
A reach on Sincere Haynesworth in pick 145; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick189 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the 189th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Magee. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kedon Slovis in No. 244. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
