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

Some picks age like wine; Tonka Hemingway at pick No. 121 will need to, sitting 84 spots clear of his grade. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 David Bailey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, David Bailey well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tez Johnson
They talked themselves into Tez Johnson at No. 52, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85 Rnd3 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at the 85th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tonka Hemingway
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tonka Hemingway this early at slot 121. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Brady Cook
A big swing on Brady Cook at the 122nd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
