Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB+
The Falcons did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Joe Milton III, 33 picks early at Round 5, Pick 31. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Joe Alt
Nice patience on Joe Alt, who had no business lasting to the 11th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Nubin at slot 48. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick74 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Devontez Walker. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Max Melton
By-the-book stuff, Max Melton at pick No. 79 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick96 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
The board had cheaper options than Mekhi Wingo at Round 3, Pick 33, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
A reach on Spencer Rattler in pick 109; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
They took Dallin Holker at par in pick 143, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick157 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
They left a pile of value on the table to take Fabien Lovett this early at the 157th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick167 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
A big swing on Joe Milton III at pick No. 167, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at slot 197 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
Jalen Sundell in the 236th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
