Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Falcons bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Falcons spent real capital to be 52 picks early on Drew Kendall, and the board is going to hold them to it. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Emmanwori value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 15th pick they get a premier pass rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Shemar Stewart
A edge rusher of that caliber at the 33rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick46 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in Round 2, Pick 14 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They let Jihaad Campbell come to them and pounced at pick No. 50. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at No. 118 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick172 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in Round 5, Pick 34 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
A clean, defensible pick in the 175th overall pick with a little surplus value in Chase Lundt. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick179 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
Value with a capital V on RJ Harvey in slot 179, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. slipping to the 218th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick242 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
They reached a country mile for Drew Kendall at pick 242, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
