Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Falcons.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Falcons spent the 226th overall pick on Jamari Lyons, a name the board had a full 42 spots lower. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On value alone, Lemon makes the weekend a net positive. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Makai Lemon
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Makai Lemon in Round 2, Pick 13. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Gabe Jacas
A premium they did not need to pay, Gabe Jacas a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Charles Jagusah. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Lander Barton
By-the-book stuff, Lander Barton at pick No. 152 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jamari Lyons
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jamari Lyons this early at pick 226. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
