Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Falcons got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

The war room fell hard for Drew Kendall, and it showed at the 242nd pick: 52 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Put together, it is a D.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Trey Hendrickson pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
The board had Jalon Walker higher than No. 33, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Tyleik Williams graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick151 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at pick No. 151 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick218 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson in the 218th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick242 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
Value said wait; Drew Kendall in slot 242 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
