Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesD+ FutureB-
The Falcons landed square in the muddy middle: C.

Nobody had David Walker this high, and it is not close. The Falcons reached 35 spots to get him at pick No. 134.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. However the rest shakes out, McLaughlin at that price is a win they earned.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zy Alexander in the 46th pick, miles early. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at slot 60 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick110 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
A wild overpay on Harold Perkins Jr. in pick 110, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
A reach for Jay Higgins in the 118th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick134 Rnd4 David Walker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for David Walker. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick234 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at Round 7, Pick 20 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
