Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureA+
Sainristil should have been long gone. The Falcons pounced, and earned a B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Mike Sainristil had no business being available in pick 106, and the Falcons did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Rattler has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick43 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. slid further than he should have, and the 43rd pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick61 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at the 61st overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
No drama and no debate, Marshawn Kneeland went about where he belonged in No. 74. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Mike Sainristil in pick 106, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick109 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
A reach on Spencer Rattler in Round 4, Pick 9; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
A quiet steal in pick No. 143: Ben Sinnott for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick164 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
They took Javion Cohen at par in slot 164, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick182 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Nice patience on Cody Schrader, who had no business lasting to slot 182. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Good price on Ty'Ron Hopper in No. 187, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
