Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Falcons get a C+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Falcons shredded theirs for Baylor Cupp. He came off 149 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

The Simpson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots still on the board. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 8 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kris Abrams-Draine
A big swing on Kris Abrams-Draine at the 43rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick74 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler in slot 74 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at the 79th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 9: Jaylin Simpson adds a cornerback while interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick143 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick No. 143 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187 Rnd6 Anim Dankwah
They talked themselves into Anim Dankwah at the 187th pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 Baylor Cupp
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Baylor Cupp. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
