Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Falcons: B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Falcons took Elijah Arroyo a full 56 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The Campbell value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In No. 25 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all.
Pick46 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at the 46th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in the 58th pick, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at pick No. 116 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Elijah Arroyo. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
They will replay Jared Wilson at slot 242 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
