Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Falcons torched the value chart for Ahmed Hassanein, taking him 86 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Walker steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In slot 15 they get juice off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at pick 46 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116 Rnd4 Ahmed Hassanein
Value said wait; Ahmed Hassanein in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick242 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard at Round 7, Pick 26 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
