Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Falcons: B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Falcons skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Getting Latu where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In slot 17 they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 43 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Worthy at No. 48 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick110 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
No edge and no loss on Matt Goncalves in the 110th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
