Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureA-
The Falcons kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Falcons never addressed interior defensive lineman, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They banked enough surplus on Schrader to cover a lot of smaller sins. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
By-the-book stuff, Laiatu Latu at the 11th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick43 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
They took Roman Wilson at par in pick 43, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Nice patience on Kiran Amegadjie, who had no business lasting to the 74th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at slot 79 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick109 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They read the board right and Brenden Rice was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kalen King
Kalen King at pick No. 143 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick187 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at No. 187 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A straight-up fair deal on Joe Milton III at Round 6, Pick 22, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
