Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in the 84th overall pick lands the Falcons a B+, Golday and all.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Falcons came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Landing Golday that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. They will need Perkins Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick57 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
They let Keith Abney II come to them and pounced at slot 57. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick79 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
You do not let a wide receiver like Germie Bernard reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday at No. 84 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Connor Lew
A tidy little value on Connor Lew in pick No. 85, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Sam Roush
Sam Roush at the 89th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick97 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
No edge and no loss on Darrell Jackson Jr. in Round 3, Pick 33; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick98 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 34 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
They liked Harold Perkins Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 122. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick215 Rnd6 Cole Payton
Cole Payton at slot 215 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Kaden Wetjen
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kaden Wetjen in the Round 7 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
