Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons let Stewart fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Falcons did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Josaiah Stewart fell into pick 242.

That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick 15 they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Shemar Stewart
Shemar Stewart at pick No. 46 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118 Rnd4 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick218 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like T.J. Sanders reach the 218th overall pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick242 Rnd7 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart in Round 7, Pick 26 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
