Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
The Falcons checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Priorities are a choice, and the Falcons made a strange one, taking Cole Bishop at safety in No. 115 with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots crying out for the pick instead.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. If Rattler pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

The Powers-Johnson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 18th pick they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson is a better player than the 43rd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Renardo Green
By-the-book stuff, Renardo Green at No. 74 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick79 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ja'Lynn Polk in the 79th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Spencer Rattler. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Nice patience on Cam Hart, who had no business lasting to slot 109. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Cole Bishop while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick143 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Dixon at pick 187, value and slot in agreement. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick197 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A tidy bit of business in the 197th overall pick, where Cornelius Johnson graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
