Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Falcons: C+.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Falcons took Spencer Rattler a full 75 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 8th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Spencer Rattler
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Spencer Rattler well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Value said wait; Brenden Rice in No. 74 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Renardo Green
A straight-up fair deal on Renardo Green at pick No. 79, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in pick 109 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Logan Lee
They reached a country mile for Logan Lee at pick No. 187, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at slot 197 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
