Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Falcons, and a B to prove it.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Falcons spent the 108th overall pick on Darius Robinson, a name most had 35 spots down the list. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Moore at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In slot 8 they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Good price on Keon Coleman in No. 40, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Fair-plus on Kamren Kinchens, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick108 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Value said wait; Darius Robinson in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
They reached into another round for Drake Nugent, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
Somehow Malachi Moore was still sitting there in pick No. 186, and they pounced on premier defensive back value. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Circle this one: Raheim Sanders at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229 Rnd7 Tyler Batty
They paid sticker price for Tyler Batty in Round 7, Pick 9, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Marshel Martin
They left a pile of value on the table to take Marshel Martin this early at pick 245. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
