Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesD FutureA
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Falcons a B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Falcons reached some 109 spots for Tyreak Sapp, and value like that does not grow back. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Helm at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick117 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
You do not let a tight end like Gunnar Helm reach pick 117 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tyreak Sapp
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyreak Sapp in the 163rd pick, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tim Smith
Tim Smith at pick No. 238 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
