Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Falcons did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Thor Griffith; the Falcons did not wait, grabbing him 40 spots ahead at slot 255.

The West steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
Nothing to complain about; Mykel Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
No drama and no debate, Jonah Savaiinaea went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick55 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
No edge and no loss on Josaiah Stewart in the 55th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They read the board right and Malachi Moore was the payoff at the 117th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick201 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Taking Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 201 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They jumped the gun on Jamon Dumas-Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244 Rnd7 CJ West
They robbed the room for CJ West here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick255 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in Round 7, Pick 37 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
