Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall
B
ValueB-

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.
