Schoepski DRAFTING FOR THEFalcons

Draft Grade — Falcons

FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Falcons: B-. You build a draft on nights like this. Darrell Jackson Jr. had no business being available in the Round 4 slot, and the Falcons did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Rolder reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick48
Rnd2
Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II at No. 48 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick79
Rnd3
Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams at Round 3, Pick 15 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114
Rnd4
Darrell Jackson Jr.
They will replay Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick No. 114 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick197
Rnd6
Jimmy Rolder
Jimmy Rolder at the 197th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231
Rnd7
Noah Whittington
Noah Whittington in slot 231 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
