Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
The Falcons checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The tape said wait; the Falcons did not. Michael Pratt went at the Round 4 slot, a good 31 picks before the board was ready. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The James pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chop Robinson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick43 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in pick 43 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick74 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Christian Haynes at Round 3, Pick 10 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 DJ James
They will replay DJ James at pick No. 79 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Michael Pratt well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at No. 118 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
By-the-book stuff, Dallin Holker at pick No. 143 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
The board had cheaper options than Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at slot 187, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick 192, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A straight-up fair deal on Jase McClellan at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
