Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons robbed the room for Sanker. Final grade: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jonas Sanker tumbling to the Falcons in Round 7, Pick 26 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick 15 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
A straight-up fair deal on T.J. Sanders at slot 46, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the 117th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jonas Sanker in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
