Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Falcons turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Falcons clearly saw something nobody else did in Brady Cook, taking him 47 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Emmanwori falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The Falcons clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher at fair value.
Pick46 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 46 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick58 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like T.J. Sanders reach No. 58 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at Round 3, Pick 34 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Smael Mondon Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at slot 119 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They jumped the gun on Jason Marshall Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick218 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Donovan Edwards in pick 218. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick242 Rnd7 Brady Cook
A real head-scratcher, Brady Cook in the 242nd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Theo Wease Jr. at slot 253, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
