Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Falcons got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

The Falcons bet big and early on Tosh Baker, 44 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Haulcy falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick59 Rnd2 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams at pick No. 59 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at the 79th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick95 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in slot 95 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Justin Joly
They let Justin Joly come to them and pounced at the 114th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
A straight-up fair deal on DeMonte Capehart at No. 128, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131 Rnd4 Aamil Wagner
A wild overpay on Aamil Wagner in Round 4, Pick 31, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
A premium they did not need to pay, DJ Campbell a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195 Rnd6 Tosh Baker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tosh Baker. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick231 Rnd7 Noah Thomas
Noah Thomas in the 231st overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
