Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons let Lambert-Smith fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Falcons were there to profit. KeAndre Lambert-Smith, the No. 193 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 244th pick.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 15th pick they get juice off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 46 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick117 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Taking Barrett Carter in the 117th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick244 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, KeAndre Lambert-Smith in pick 244, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
