Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Falcons to a D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Falcons, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

Reaching for Weaver left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Ford.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 16 they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick31 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 31 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Worthy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick45 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They took J.J. McCarthy at par in the 45th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kingsley Suamataia at slot 63 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Michael Hall Jr. in Round 3, Pick 32. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A premium they did not need to pay, Justin Eboigbe a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
A conviction pick on Jordan Travis at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at Round 5, Pick 9 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford slid further than he should have, and pick No. 189 is lovely value for the linebacker. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick194 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They paid sticker price for Gabe Hall in the 194th overall pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick201 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver in the 201st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244 Rnd7 Donell Harris Jr.
Donell Harris Jr. at pick 244 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
