Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice offensive lineman is still a hole. The Falcons never got to the one that mattered most. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

If Hawes pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Campbell.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Mike Green
In pick 15 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A quiet steal in slot 46: Jihaad Campbell for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick118 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
They read the board right and Zy Alexander was the payoff at the 118th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
No edge and no loss on Jordan Hancock in Round 7, Pick 2; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jackson Hawes. It fills a real need, too.
