Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Falcons, and a C+ to match.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Julian Neal, 29 picks early at the Round 2 slot. The final tally is a middling C+.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Cameron. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Julian Neal
They left a pile of value on the table to take Julian Neal this early at Round 2, Pick 16. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at pick 79 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick114 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
A big swing on DeMonte Capehart at slot 114, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick195 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Josh Cameron at the 195th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Trebor Pena
No edge and no loss on Trebor Pena in No. 231; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
