Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Falcons to a D-.

The Tristan Leigh selection is the head-turner. The Falcons reached 36 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Put together, it is a D-.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Aamil Wagner
They paid a round early for Aamil Wagner in Round 2, Pick 13, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jalon Kilgore
No drama and no debate, Jalon Kilgore went about where he belonged in pick 77. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick113 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at slot 113 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Dane Key
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dane Key in the Round 4 slot, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh at the 152nd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick226 Rnd7 Roderick Robinson II
They reached a country mile for Roderick Robinson II at pick No. 226, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
