Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Falcons bet big and early on Jalen Thompson, 52 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Ja'Kobi Lane
A reach for Ja'Kobi Lane in Round 2, Pick 13; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara at slot 80 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115 Rnd4 Demond Claiborne
A premium they did not need to pay, Demond Claiborne a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick196 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at the 196th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jalen Thompson
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Thompson in pick 234 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
