Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Falcons cashed the board's mistake on Mondon Jr.: D-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Smael Mondon Jr. slide, and the Falcons were the ones holding the card at pick 198. Highway robbery.

The Griffith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Falcons clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 46th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick163 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They liked Cobee Bryant enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 5, Pick 26. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick190 Rnd6 Mason Taylor
Circle this one: Mason Taylor at slot 190 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
They will replay Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 198 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick242 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in pick No. 242 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
