Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Falcons lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Falcons would have aced it. Tim Keenan III at Round 3, Pick 23 is 37 spots clear of where he belonged. Put together, it is a D-.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Bernard value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Nothing to complain about; Caleb Banks went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Keith Abney II well ahead of where he belonged. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick87 Rnd3 Tim Keenan III
Tim Keenan III at pick No. 87 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Germie Bernard
Steal is underselling it; Germie Bernard at the 112th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Iapani Laloulu at slot 151. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Barion Brown
They read the board right and Barion Brown was the payoff at the 225th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
