Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesA+ FutureC
The Falcons robbed the room for Morgan. Final grade: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jordan Morgan, pick 74, roughly 48 picks past where he belonged.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Adding Justin Fields by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in slot 74 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
They robbed the room for Mike Sainristil here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A slide stopped in pick 145, with Jordan Travis worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick No. 189 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at No. 201 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick244 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at the 244th overall pick is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
