Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Falcons and Carter: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Barrett Carter got past him. The Falcons do not have to explain a thing at slot 116. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Griffith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick No. 15 they get a three-down second-level presence. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Restrepo. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at slot 116 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick242 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
