Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Falcons for Sanker: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Falcons watched Jonas Sanker slide 106 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They will need Powell-Ryland to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

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

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In No. 15 they get juice off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at pick 46 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick118 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Value said wait; Antwaun Powell-Ryland in pick No. 118 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218 Rnd7 Cody Simon
They robbed the room for Cody Simon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
