Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Falcons bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Falcons shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

They will need Pierce to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Bond falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
A premium they did not need to pay, Jack Sawyer a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick51 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They took Alfred Collins at par in Round 2, Pick 19, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Good price on Chris Paul Jr. in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick94 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Taking Isaiah Bond in pick 94 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Hollin Pierce well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Zy Alexander in No. 122. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick216 Rnd6 Karene Reid
Karene Reid in the 216th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson in the 218th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick242 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester at the 242nd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
