Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Reid should have been long gone. The Falcons pounced, and earned a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Karene Reid had no business being available in pick 242, and the Falcons did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 15th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Emeka Egbuka in No. 46, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They barely believed it either: Malachi Moore still on the board at slot 116. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick242 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Karene Reid in the 242nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
