Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall
C-
ValueD+
NeedB+
TradesD-
FutureC-
A passer of the future in McCarthy, and a C-, for the Falcons. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Falcons started one anyway for Cornelius Johnson, 157 picks ahead of schedule. It nets out a thoroughly average C-.
Whatever J.J. McCarthy becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.
If J.J. McCarthy and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In No. 13 they get a passer to set the clock by, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
No edge and no loss on Kris Jenkins in the 43rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick44
Rnd2
Blake Corum
They reached a country mile for Blake Corum at the 44th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick60
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Junior Colson in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick74
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
They paid a round early for Roman Wilson in pick No. 74, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at Round 3, Pick 11 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick134
Rnd4
Drake Nugent
They jumped the gun on Drake Nugent, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147
Rnd5
LaDarius Henderson
The board had cheaper options than LaDarius Henderson at the 147th overall pick, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170
Rnd5
Michael Barrett
A conviction pick on Michael Barrett at slot 170 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick176
Rnd6
AJ Barner
They liked AJ Barner enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 176. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick192
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at the 192nd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick200
Rnd6
Trevor Keegan
A real head-scratcher, Trevor Keegan in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick201
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cornelius Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
