Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Falcons a B-.

The Falcons torched the value chart for Davin Vann, taking him 50 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Perkins Jr.. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Harold Perkins Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tommi Hill
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tommi Hill in the Round 2 slot, miles early. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick92 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at No. 92 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121 Rnd4 Davin Vann
A big swing on Davin Vann at slot 121, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
They jumped the gun on Jimmy Horn Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
