Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB
The Falcons did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Falcons did not so much draft Bryce Foster as overpay for him, 19 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. Landing Joly that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darrell Jackson Jr.. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A slide stopped in No. 73, with A'Mauri Washington worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick115 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
They took Zachariah Branch at par in pick No. 115, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick120 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in pick 120 with a little surplus value in Domani Jackson. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick155 Rnd5 Justin Joly
Justin Joly slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick164 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at Round 5, Pick 24 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick190 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III at the 190th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick221 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Bryce Foster well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cam Calhoun
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cam Calhoun at the 224th pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
