Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Falcons: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Caleb Douglas at the 122nd overall pick will need to, sitting 45 spots clear of his grade.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Scott steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Good price on Caleb Banks in pick No. 48, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott is a better player than No. 79 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick122 Rnd4 Caleb Douglas
They talked themselves into Caleb Douglas at slot 122, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215 Rnd6 VJ Payne
A quiet steal in pick 215: VJ Payne for less than the market said. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick231 Rnd7 Harrison Wallace III
The board had Harrison Wallace III higher than the 231st pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
