Draft Grade — Falcons

ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons cashed the board's mistake on McGlothern: B-.

Call it larceny. Dwight McGlothern sat on the board until slot 197, and the Falcons did not need to be asked twice. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
No drama and no debate, Keon Coleman went about where he belonged in pick 43. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Taking Jermaine Burton in No. 74 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Max Melton
Fair-plus on Max Melton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick109 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Leonard Taylor III. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in the 143rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick187 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at Round 6, Pick 12 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They will replay Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 197 for years; that is how good the value is. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
