Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Falcons for Colson: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Junior Colson, the 79th pick, roughly 30 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Every board in the league had Rouse lower, and that gap is the story. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in pick 50 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They liked Braden Fiske enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 53. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in slot 74 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick79 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in Round 3, Pick 15 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the 109th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Renardo Green at the 110th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
By-the-book stuff, Jamari Thrash at No. 130 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
A wild overpay on Walter Rouse in the 142nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick199 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in Round 6, Pick 24 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
They took Jordan Magee at par in slot 237, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
