Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB FutureB-
The Falcons robbed the room for Williams. Final grade: B.

Somebody in Round 7, Pick 25 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Falcons sat still while Mario Williams, the No. 223 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Falcons indulged a want in DeJean while a need in running back, tight end and other spots stayed open. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Every board in the league had Foreman lower, and that gap is the story.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 8th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at Round 2, Pick 16 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
A want over a need in pick 71: Cooper DeJean adds a defensive back while running back, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick72 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
They read the board right and Tyler Davis was the payoff at No. 108. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick178 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at pick No. 178 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202 Rnd6 Korey Foreman
A conviction pick on Korey Foreman at slot 202 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Mario Williams
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Mario Williams in the 245th overall pick, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
