Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
The Falcons won the night they stopped Fitzgerald from sliding. Grade: B-.

The board owed the Falcons one, and it paid up: Ryan Fitzgerald, the No. 117 name on the board, sitting there at the 242nd overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

The Walker pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick No. 15 they get juice off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 55th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick86 Rnd3 David Walker
Value said wait; David Walker in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They took Darius Alexander at par in the 125th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick199 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 199 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick213 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at Round 6, Pick 38 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at pick 218 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick242 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in No. 242 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
