Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Falcons this weekend: B.

The Evan Anderson pick is the one that will follow the Falcons into the fall. They took him 64 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Falcons indulged a want in Hadden while a need in running back stayed open. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 13th overall pick they get a problem off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
A straight-up fair deal on Jermaine Burton at the 44th pick, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick56 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They paid up for Payton Wilson at Round 2, Pick 24 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler at pick 74 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A conviction pick on Khyree Jackson at slot 87 that the board grades a round light. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick109 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A reach for Justin Eboigbe in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick112 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A premium they did not need to pay, Javon Foster a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
A want over a need in pick No. 131: Kamal Hadden adds a cornerback while running back keeps waiting.
Pick145 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
No drama and no debate, Keith Randolph Jr. went about where he belonged in slot 145. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at pick 198 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They paid sticker price for Gabe Hall in No. 201, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Evan Anderson
A wild overpay on Evan Anderson in the 209th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick244 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jennings in Round 7, Pick 24; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
