Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Falcons let Mondon Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The Falcons spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 105 name on the board, in Round 5, Pick 20. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Every board in the league had Strong lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the 17th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
No drama and no debate, Alfred Collins went about where he belonged in pick 55. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dorian Strong. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick157 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239 Rnd7 Julian Fleming
Julian Fleming at pick No. 239 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
