Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Falcons let Harris fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

When a board-topper like Tre Harris slides to the 229th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Falcons did not.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Truss lower, and that gap is the story.

Adding Trey Lance by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 26 they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that.
Pick40 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A tidy little value on Troy Franklin in No. 40, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Nothing to complain about; Ruke Orhorhoro went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in Round 4, Pick 8 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in slot 145 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick202 Rnd6 Andrew Coker
They paid sticker price for Andrew Coker in pick No. 202, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick229 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Somehow Tre Harris was still sitting there in the 229th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
They paid a round early for Xavier Truss in slot 245, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
