Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Falcons: B-.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Falcons walked out of the weekend still thin at quarterback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Thomas has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. On value alone, Proctor makes the weekend a net positive.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 8 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in pick 43 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
No edge and no loss on Kris Abrams-Draine in Round 3, Pick 10; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick79 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
They took Brandon Dorlus at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 109th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kalen King
A clean, defensible pick in the 143rd overall pick with a little surplus value in Kalen King. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick188 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nathan Thomas well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
A tidy little value on Tahj Washington in pick No. 197, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Value with a capital V on Josh Proctor in pick No. 230, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
