Draft Grade — Falcons

FutureA-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Falcons a B+. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 82nd pick is 146 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
Fitzgerald falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick46
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at the 46th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58
Rnd2
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82
Rnd3
Oluwafemi Oladejo
A real head-scratcher, Oluwafemi Oladejo in pick 82 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in Round 3, Pick 26 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick120
Rnd4
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in pick No. 120 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Emery Jones Jr. at slot 126, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jake Majors
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at slot 133. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Akili Arnold
Circle this one: Akili Arnold at Round 7, Pick 9 is a fall that decides a draft. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick230
Rnd7
Jamaree Caldwell
They talked themselves into Jamaree Caldwell at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236
Rnd7
Ryan Fitzgerald
A top-tier specialist at a bargain, Ryan Fitzgerald in pick No. 236, plain and simple. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick237
Rnd7
Moliki Matavao
By-the-book stuff, Moliki Matavao at the 237th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244
Rnd7
Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at No. 244 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
