Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
The Falcons let McGlothern fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Of all the ways to open, the Falcons chose the head-scratcher, spending the Round 4 slot on Elijah Jones with tight end still wide open.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Landing McGlothern that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Pearl pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 14th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at Round 2, Pick 12 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick45 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at slot 74 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
A slide stopped in pick 109, with Jalen McMillan worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
A want over a need in the 117th pick: Elijah Jones adds a cornerback while tight end keeps waiting.
Pick118 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
By-the-book stuff, Spencer Rattler at pick No. 118 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the 143rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 12 with a little surplus value in Trevor Keegan. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick158 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick179 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
You do not let a cornerback like Dwight McGlothern reach slot 179 and blink. They did not. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in pick No. 187 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl in pick 194 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
No edge and no loss on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in No. 197; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick199 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
The board had Daijun Edwards higher than the 199th overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick234 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in No. 234 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick235 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
They took Dominique Hampton at par in the 235th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
No drama and no debate, Jalen Sundell went about where he belonged in the 241st pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
