Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Mesidor should have been long gone. The Falcons pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Akheem Mesidor, the Round 3 slot, roughly 42 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom. Their trades came out a wash either way.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in pick 48 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Akheem Mesidor
They barely believed it either: Akheem Mesidor still on the board at the 79th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Julian Neal
Somehow Julian Neal was still sitting there in pick No. 115, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick195 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green in slot 195 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
