Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons won the night they stopped Oladapo from sliding. Grade: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Falcons watched Kitan Oladapo slide 34 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 8 they get a problem off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at pick No. 43 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick74 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at pick 74 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They took Michael Hall Jr. at par in No. 79, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
No edge and no loss on Elijah Jones in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick143 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ainias Smith. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the 187th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick197 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They barely believed it either: Kamal Hadden still on the board at the 197th overall pick. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
