Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Falcons robbed the room for Brooks. Final grade: D.

The Falcons lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

Brooks falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 15th overall pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at slot 33 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick45 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at No. 45 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick46 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
The board fumbled Colston Loveland all the way to pick 46, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas slid further than he should have, and the 67th pick is lovely value for the cornerback. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick104 Rnd4 Will Howard
No drama and no debate, Will Howard went about where he belonged in pick No. 104. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jared Wilson at Round 4, Pick 16 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
They robbed the room for Antwane Wells Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick242 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Taking Tahj Brooks in No. 242 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
