Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Falcons won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

Nobody had Lawson Luckie this high, and it is not close. The Falcons reached 51 spots to get him at the 210th overall pick.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Calhoun value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick62 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
A conviction pick on Keith Abney II at pick 62 that the board grades a round light. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick73 Rnd3 Suntarine Perkins
Value said wait; Suntarine Perkins in slot 73 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
A wild overpay on Zachariah Branch in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at Round 4, Pick 10 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tim Keenan III
A real head-scratcher, Tim Keenan III in pick No. 123 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick190 Rnd6 Trinidad Chambliss
The board had Trinidad Chambliss higher than the 190th pick, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick210 Rnd6 Lawson Luckie
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Lawson Luckie. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cam Calhoun
A tidy bit of business in slot 224, where Cam Calhoun graded well above the range. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
