Boke DRAFTING FOR THEFalcons

FutureB
Nix is the Falcons' new face under center. Grade: B. The search is over. The Falcons handed the keys to Bo Nix, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Mims. The cost of the McClellan reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
The trade work was a quiet net positive.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In pick No. 19 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at the 43rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick51
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at pick 51 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
They jumped the gun on Gabriel Murphy, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
No edge and no loss on Malachi Corley in No. 76; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick83
Rnd3
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in Round 3, Pick 19 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109
Rnd4
DJ James
DJ James in the 109th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick145
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
They paid sticker price for Dallin Holker in slot 145, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They will replay Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the 189th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick201
Rnd6
Jase McClellan
The board had cheaper options than Jase McClellan at the 201st pick, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
