Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Falcons won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Falcons reached some 106 spots for Cashius Howell, and value like that does not grow back. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The Spears-Jennings value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 23 they get a load in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick118 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Circle this one: Barrett Carter at pick 118 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cashius Howell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cashius Howell this early at Round 4, Pick 23. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at the 191st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick205 Rnd6 Samuel Brown
By-the-book stuff, Samuel Brown at No. 205 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jalen Rivers
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Rivers in the 237th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
