Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The Falcons won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Falcons, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Reaching for Gray left real value on the table behind him. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

The Falcons indulged a want in Abrams-Draine while a need in running back stayed open.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 16 they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Fair-plus on Chop Robinson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick47 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They paid sticker price for Xavier Worthy in pick 47, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Haynes at the 78th pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Value said wait; Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 9 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Kris Abrams-Draine at cornerback with running back open.
Pick145 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
A premium they did not need to pay, Joe Milton III a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
Sincere Haynesworth in pick No. 154 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
The board had cheaper options than Gabe Hall at the 189th overall pick, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick201 Rnd6 Erick All
No drama and no debate, Erick All went about where he belonged in pick No. 201. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick244 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They did well to land Eric Gentry in the 244th pick, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
