Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Falcons, and a B- to prove it.

The Falcons' one glaring miss is offensive lineman, a need they left exactly as they found it. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Ayomanor value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Their trades came out a wash either way.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Nice patience on Elic Ayomanor, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 5. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Carson Schwesinger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick118 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 118th overall pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick242 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
No edge and no loss on Brandon Adams in the 242nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
