Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Gould should have been long gone. The Falcons pounced, and earned a C.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Anthony Gould, Round 7, Pick 18, roughly 96 picks past where he belonged. The final tally is a middling C.

If Owens pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

So much rides on Xavier Legette that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Good price on Xavier Legette in pick 43, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
They went early on Kiran Amegadjie in slot 56, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in the 79th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
A conviction pick on Jalyx Hunt at pick No. 143 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick187 Rnd6 Eric Watts
They left a pile of value on the table to take Eric Watts this early at the 187th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
They talked themselves into Tyler Owens at Round 6, Pick 22, and the board did not agree. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick238 Rnd7 Anthony Gould
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Anthony Gould in No. 238, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
