Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall
B+

NeedB
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Falcons worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Logan Lee at No. 124, a reach of 87 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Adding Colby Parkinson by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
No edge and no loss on Cooper DeJean in the 27th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick43
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in Round 2, Pick 11 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick49
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
A conviction pick on Ricky Pearsall at pick No. 49 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
They talked themselves into Khyree Jackson at slot 66, and the board did not agree. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick74
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Austin Booker at No. 74 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick79
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ben Sinnott. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80
Rnd3
Blake Corum
By-the-book stuff, Blake Corum at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83
Rnd3
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at slot 83 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94
Rnd3
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the 94th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Travis in pick 109, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124
Rnd4
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at No. 124 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143
Rnd5
Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in Round 5, Pick 7 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick187
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
A big swing on Jaylan Ford at the 187th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick196
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in pick No. 196 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick197
Rnd6
Lideatrick Griffin
A real head-scratcher, Lideatrick Griffin in pick No. 197 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
