Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
The Falcons checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: David Walker, 86 picks early at the 86th overall pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Reed steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick55 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
A reasonable price with a little left over, Marcus Mbow in Round 2, Pick 23. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Nothing to complain about; Josaiah Stewart went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 David Walker
A wild overpay on David Walker in pick 86, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A real head-scratcher, Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 89th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick117 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick No. 117 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They robbed the room for Savion Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick167 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
This one needs a full-page explanation: Luke Lachey in the 167th overall pick, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
A quiet steal in slot 201: Antwane Wells Jr. for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at pick No. 244 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick253 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in Round 7, Pick 35 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
