Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Falcons turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Falcons looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Christian Jones at pick No. 145 regardless, 52 picks early.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Newton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 14 they get a premier pass rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Worthy at the 45th pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick46 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They took J.J. McCarthy at par in pick No. 46, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Josh Newton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Josh Newton in No. 74. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A conviction pick on Darius Robinson at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick145 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the 145th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at No. 189 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick201 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
They let Josh Proctor come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick244 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick 244 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
