Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons robbed the room for Chestnut. Final grade: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Falcons were there to profit. Duce Chestnut, the No. 207 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 231.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Thomas Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 10 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value.
Pick42 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They went early on Brian Thomas Jr. in pick 42, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
They took Kamren Kinchens at par in Round 3, Pick 10, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick110 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
They did well to land Devontez Walker in the 110th pick, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
No drama and no debate, Jonah Monheim went about where he belonged in No. 147. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Value with a capital V on Ty'Ron Hopper in the 188th overall pick, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Joe Milton III at pick No. 204. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231 Rnd7 Duce Chestnut
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyreek Chappell
Tyreek Chappell is a better player than No. 247 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
