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

Call it larceny. Roman Wilson sat on the board until No. 74, and the Falcons did not need to be asked twice. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The Hart pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots still on the board. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze in Round 1, Pick 8 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick43 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at pick No. 43 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick48 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
The board had Adonai Mitchell higher than No. 48, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Taking Roman Wilson in the 74th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
They barely believed it either: Xavier Worthy still on the board at the 79th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cam Hart
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 4 slot on Cam Hart with offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick142 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams at slot 142 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at pick 186 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick196 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the 196th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
