Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Falcons turned the phones into found money: B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Falcons, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Every board in the league had Solomon lower, and that gap is the story. It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Falcons had louder needs to answer first.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
No drama and no debate, Dallas Turner went about where he belonged in the 8th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick43 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in No. 43 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
No edge and no loss on Jermaine Burton in pick No. 52; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Nothing to complain about; Blake Fisher went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots still to address, they spent pick 87 on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick108 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in the Round 4 slot leaves interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots for later.
Pick142 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in slot 142 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Fair-plus on Roger Rosengarten, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They paid a round early for Luke McCaffrey in the 154th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
You do not let a cornerback like Kamal Hadden reach pick 186 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick196 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at Round 6, Pick 21 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
