Draft Grade — Falcons

FutureB-
The Falcons bled value on every deal, hence the C. The Falcons went off the board in a big way for Justin Joly, 37 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The final tally is a middling C.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.
In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
Pick Analysis
Pick50
Rnd2
Antonio Williams
A wild overpay on Antonio Williams in No. 50, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
A premium they did not need to pay, Domonique Orange a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94
Rnd3
Adon Shuler
Adon Shuler in Round 3, Pick 30 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick109
Rnd4
Justin Joly
They left a pile of value on the table to take Justin Joly this early at the Round 4 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136
Rnd4
Drew Allar
Drew Allar at pick No. 136 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick153
Rnd5
Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers at pick 153 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189
Rnd6
Josh Moten
A reach on Josh Moten in Round 6, Pick 10; the board had better options right there. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick224
Rnd7
Amare Campbell
Amare Campbell in pick No. 224 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
