Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Falcons.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Falcons took Elijah Roberts at the Round 4 slot, roughly 55 spots before his name belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Dumas-Johnson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan at No. 15 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
They took Jonah Savaiinaea at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
They reached a country mile for Elijah Roberts at pick 117, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Jamon Dumas-Johnson at Round 7, Pick 26 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
