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

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Falcons spent slot 197 on Nick Nash, a name most had 52 spots down the list. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That Knight Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In pick No. 22 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at Round 2, Pick 14 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick83 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ajani Cornelius well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in slot 86 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick116 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 116th overall pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in the 121st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick197 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in Round 6, Pick 22 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick242 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A straight-up fair deal on Shilo Sanders at slot 242, value and slot in agreement. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
