Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Falcons bled value on every deal, hence the B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Falcons reached some 79 spots for Cooper Mays, and value like that does not grow back.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Nolen at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in pick No. 46 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
The board had cheaper options than Donovan Ezeiruaku at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Steal is underselling it; Denzel Burke at No. 111 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick118 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kevin Winston Jr. in the 118th pick, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick218 Rnd7 Cooper Mays
A wild overpay on Cooper Mays in Round 7, Pick 2, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick242 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They reached into another round for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
