Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Falcons let Coleman fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The board owed the Falcons one, and it paid up: Keon Coleman, the No. 43 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 76 like a gift left on the doorstep. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jared Verse
Jared Verse in pick 13 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 76 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kiran Amegadjie at pick No. 79. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 109th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick112 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at the 112th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at Round 4, Pick 36 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick143 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade slid further than he should have, and No. 143 is lovely value for the cornerback. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
They did well to land Ty'Ron Hopper in No. 187, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick197 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Nice patience on Tanor Bortolini, who had no business lasting to the 197th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
