Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
Nobody dealt better than the Falcons this weekend: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Falcons were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The cost of the Travis reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick No. 11 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A clean, defensible pick in the 43rd pick with a little surplus value in Keon Coleman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick48 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They paid sticker price for T.J. Tampa in Round 2, Pick 16, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick74 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Legette at No. 74 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Good price on Kamren Kinchens in pick 79, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick108 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
The board had cheaper options than Sataoa Laumea at slot 108, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the 128th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
They jumped the gun on Jordan Travis, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They liked Jaylan Ford enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 186. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick196 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
They went early on Daijun Edwards in pick 196, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
