Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesC FutureA
Larceny in No. 109 lands the Falcons a B, James and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. DJ James at Round 4, Pick 9 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The James pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, running back and other spots still on the board.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
No edge and no loss on Kool-Aid McKinstry in No. 24; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
By-the-book stuff, Chris Braswell at pick No. 43 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick56 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at pick 56 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at slot 74 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at the 88th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109 Rnd4 DJ James
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. DJ James in the 109th pick leaves quarterback, running back and other spots for later.
Pick143 Rnd5 Mekhi Wingo
Somehow Mekhi Wingo was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 7, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They robbed the room for Jaylin Simpson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick187 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Circle this one: Xavier Thomas at the 187th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick197 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tahj Washington at pick No. 197. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
No drama and no debate, Jared Wiley went about where he belonged in No. 202. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
