Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB TradesA FutureB
The Falcons let Milum fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

When a board-topper like Wyatt Milum slides to No. 244, you do not overthink it, and the Falcons did not. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Adding Derek Barnett by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 15 they get a bendy edge with upside, and a steal at that.
Pick58 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in pick 58 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at the 117th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
They will replay Wyatt Milum at pick No. 244 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
