Jaybeast17 DRAFTING FOR THEFalcons

Draft Grade — Falcons

A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Falcons get a C+. Nobody had Chris Johnson Jr. this high, and it is not close. The Falcons reached 255 spots to get him at pick No. 234.
Getting Allen where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.
A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.
Pick Analysis
Pick48
Rnd2
Matayo Uiagalelei
Steal is underselling it; Matayo Uiagalelei at Round 2, Pick 16 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82
Rnd3
Chris Bell
They will replay Chris Bell at No. 82 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117
Rnd4
Derek Williams Jr.
Derek Williams Jr. in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick198
Rnd6
CJ Allen
CJ Allen at the 198th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234
Rnd7
Chris Johnson Jr.
Chris Johnson Jr. at pick No. 234 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
