Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons let Montgomery fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Luke Montgomery tumbling to the Falcons in the 221st pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Williams Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Carter Smith
In pick 13 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Bear Alexander
They paid up for Bear Alexander at No. 44 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111 Rnd4 Demond Williams Jr.
Demond Williams Jr. in Round 4, Pick 10 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick192 Rnd6 James Smith
A wild overpay on James Smith in the 192nd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218 Rnd6 Jalen Mayo
A defensive back of that caliber at the 218th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick221 Rnd6 Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery in slot 221 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick233 Rnd7 Bryce Thornton
Fair-plus on Bryce Thornton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
