Paul DRAFTING FOR THEFalcons

Draft Grade — Falcons

FutureB-
The Falcons did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Falcons did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
Every board in the league had Wisner lower, and that gap is the story. If one pick saves this weekend, it is McDonald. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick42
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kayden McDonald at the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77
Rnd3
Eric Singleton Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Eric Singleton Jr. at No. 77 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at the 112th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189
Rnd6
Quintrevion Wisner
Quintrevion Wisner at pick No. 189 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Zuhn III. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
