Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Falcons robbed the room for Colby. Final grade: D-.

The phones were a trap the Falcons kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Colby falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Adding T.J. Watt by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They did well to land Tyleik Williams in pick 46, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Nice patience on Jack Bech, who had no business lasting to the 83rd pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in slot 118 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick218 Rnd7 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at Round 7, Pick 2 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick242 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams in pick No. 242 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
