Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA FutureB
Lew should have been long gone. The Falcons pounced, and earned a B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Connor Lew, No. 122, roughly 40 picks past where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Henry To'oTo'o pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick59 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
Nice patience on D'Angelo Ponds, who had no business lasting to pick No. 59. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Somehow Jake Golday was still sitting there in the 79th overall pick, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Connor Lew
You do not let an offensive lineman like Connor Lew reach No. 122 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215 Rnd6 Kendrick Law
Kendrick Law in the 215th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
A tidy little value on Miles Kitselman in pick 231, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
