Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC FutureB
The Falcons won the night they stopped Leavitt from sliding. Grade: B.

The Falcons did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Sam Leavitt fell into the Round 4 slot.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The cost of the Kanak reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
You do not let a linebacker like Arvell Reese reach the 43rd pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Sam Leavitt
Sam Leavitt in the 112th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
No edge and no loss on Chris Johnson in pick No. 114; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick179 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
A clean, defensible pick in No. 179 with a little surplus value in Aamil Wagner. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jaren Kanak
They paid up for Jaren Kanak at pick 194 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick227 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling at slot 227 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
