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

The Falcons bet big and early on Trevor Keegan, 33 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick 8 they get a disruptive interior force, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
By-the-book stuff, J.J. McCarthy at Round 2, Pick 11 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 74th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at No. 109 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio in slot 145 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick189 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 189th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick201 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trevor Keegan this early at slot 201. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick244 Rnd7 Troy Omeire
Troy Omeire at No. 244 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
