Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Falcons turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Falcons looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Frank Gore Jr. at the Round 5 slot regardless, 86 picks early.

The Penix Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They paid up for Chris Braswell at Round 2, Pick 2 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick40 Rnd2 Michael Penix Jr.
Michael Penix Jr. in No. 40 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick54 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the 54th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick55 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
A quiet steal in slot 55: Javon Bullard for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick100 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A tidy little value on Brenden Rice in the 100th pick, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at pick 102 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
They went early on Leonard Taylor III in slot 103, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter is a better player than the 115th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in Round 5, Pick 7 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
