Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Falcons worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The Falcons looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Trey Wedig at the Round 6 slot regardless, 81 picks early.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Perkins Jr.. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In the 20th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner, a steep price for the projection. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick 48 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Burch this early at pick No. 84. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Tai Felton
No edge and no loss on Tai Felton in slot 85; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in No. 118 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick120 Rnd4 Antwane Wells Jr.
A big swing on Antwane Wells Jr. at Round 4, Pick 19, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
They will replay Chris Paul Jr. at Round 5, Pick 27 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick187 Rnd6 Harold Perkins Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Harold Perkins Jr. reach the 187th overall pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick203 Rnd6 Trey Wedig
A real head-scratcher, Trey Wedig in No. 203 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They did well to land Shilo Sanders in pick 239, just ahead of his grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
