Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Falcons robbed the room for Castro. Final grade: D.

When a board-topper like Sebastian Castro slides to Round 6, Pick 2, you do not overthink it, and the Falcons did not. Put together, it is a D.

They will need Nash to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Adding Elijah Moore by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In No. 18 they get a premier pass rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at the 46th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
They let Maxwell Hairston come to them and pounced at the 116th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick136 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at slot 136 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick163 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
They took Shemar Turner at par in pick No. 163, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd6 Sebastian Castro
Circle this one: Sebastian Castro at Round 6, Pick 2 is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick210 Rnd6 Nick Nash
A big swing on Nick Nash at pick 210, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
They barely believed it either: Jonah Monheim still on the board at the Round 7 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
