Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Falcons cashed the board's mistake on Jackson: B.

The Falcons did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Brennan Jackson fell into the Round 5 slot.

If Rattler pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner at slot 8 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick56 Rnd2 Michael Hall Jr.
A reach for Michael Hall Jr. in Round 2, Pick 24; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
The board had cheaper options than Devontez Walker at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler at No. 79 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in the 87th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109 Rnd4 Brandon Coleman
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brandon Coleman in pick No. 109. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Fair-plus on Nehemiah Pritchett, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick174 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
Circle this one: Brennan Jackson at the 174th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick187 Rnd6 Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson at the 187th pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
They will replay Jordan Magee at the 197th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
