Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons cashed the board's mistake on Egbuka: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Emeka Egbuka, the No. 25 name on the board, stolen at Round 3, Pick 10. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In slot 10 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 42, where Terrion Arnold graded well above the range. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick74 Rnd3 Emeka Egbuka
The board fumbled Emeka Egbuka all the way to pick 74, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
The board had Dominick Puni higher than the 110th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
