Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Falcons and Smith-Wade: B+.

The Falcons ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

Smith-Wade falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Falcons paired the rookies with proven help, Justin Fields leading the way.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In slot 13 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Nothing to complain about; Malachi Corley went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Fair-plus on Nehemiah Pritchett, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick188 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
No drama and no debate, Keith Randolph Jr. went about where he belonged in the 188th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
They did well to land Darius Robinson in No. 204, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau at pick No. 231 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at Round 7, Pick 27 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
