Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Falcons and King: B-.

The Falcons did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kalen King fell into Round 4, Pick 10. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 8 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Nice patience on Troy Franklin, who had no business lasting to the 43rd pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
They let Javon Bullard come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kalen King
They robbed the room for Kalen King here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Good price on Jordan Travis in pick No. 142, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
