Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Falcons won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Falcons were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Bethune to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Justin Fields gives the group a proven body among the projects.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 21st overall pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A tidy little value on Keon Coleman in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Troy Fautanu at the 43rd pick is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at No. 71 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Max Melton
They went early on Max Melton in slot 104, and the value did not follow. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
A real head-scratcher, Jaden Hicks in pick 109 is miles ahead of his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick145 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joe Milton III. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tatum Bethune
A wild overpay on Tatum Bethune in pick No. 189, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick205 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor in Round 6, Pick 30 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Isaiah Davis
Value with a capital V on Isaiah Davis in the 225th pick, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at No. 248 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
