Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Falcons: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Falcons spent slot 242 on Jalen Travis, a name most had 46 spots down the list. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Campbell.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
They paid sticker price for Mykel Williams in pick No. 15, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the 46th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
A clean, defensible pick in slot 118 with a little surplus value in Joshua Farmer. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A conviction pick on Isaac TeSlaa at the 218th overall pick that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
