Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Falcons clearly saw something nobody else did in J. Michael Sturdivant, taking him 53 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Abney II pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Malachi Fields
A wild overpay on Malachi Fields in the Round 2 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II in pick No. 79 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick114 Rnd4 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at the 114th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jalen Stroman
They will replay Jalen Stroman at the 195th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick197 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon in slot 197 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick231 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at Round 7, Pick 15 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
