Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Falcons.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Falcons were there to profit. Dwight McGlothern, the No. 161 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 6 slot.

The Rattler reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 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 running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 8th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Guyton at No. 43. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
You do not let a cornerback like T.J. Tampa reach the 74th pick and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick79 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
A big swing on Spencer Rattler at Round 3, Pick 15, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Maason Smith
No edge and no loss on Maason Smith in pick 109; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
Value with a capital V on Jamari Thrash in No. 143, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187 Rnd6 Myles Cole
Myles Cole at slot 187 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Somehow Dwight McGlothern was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
