Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Falcons checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Falcons started one anyway for Noah Thomas, 43 picks ahead of schedule.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. On value alone, Lew makes the weekend a net positive. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse in pick No. 48 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick79 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew slid further than he should have, and the 79th overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Red Murdock
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Red Murdock. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick195 Rnd6 Keyron Crawford
Keyron Crawford at slot 195 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick205 Rnd6 Tristan Leigh
They went early on Tristan Leigh in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231 Rnd7 Noah Thomas
A wild overpay on Noah Thomas in Round 7, Pick 15, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Haynes King
Haynes King at pick No. 252 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
