Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Falcons a B.

Priorities are a choice, and the Falcons made a strange one, taking Kamari Lassiter at cornerback in slot 48 with offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots crying out for the pick instead.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wilson. For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Wiley has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 13 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
They did well to land Keon Coleman in Round 2, Pick 11, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at No. 44 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
They bypassed pressing needs at offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots to take Kamari Lassiter, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick74 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Legette at the 74th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
No edge and no loss on Brandon Dorlus in the 79th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick108 Rnd4 Renardo Green
A straight-up fair deal on Renardo Green at pick 108, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick142 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson slipping to pick No. 142 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
The board had cheaper options than Jared Wiley at slot 186, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick 196 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
