Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall F
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Falcons went off-script early, and it cost them a F.

Nobody had Oronde Gadsden II this high, and it is not close. The Falcons reached 75 spots to get him at pick 233.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Mukuba at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In No. 19 they get a problem off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Mike Green
Value said wait; Mike Green in the Round 2 slot says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the 111th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick120 Rnd4 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at Round 4, Pick 19 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
They talked themselves into Oronde Gadsden II at pick 233, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick252 Rnd7 Germie Bernard
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Germie Bernard. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
