Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Falcons, and a B- to prove it.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Falcons did exactly that with Trey Knox in pick 197. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
They paid sticker price for Dallas Turner in the 8th pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
By-the-book stuff, Kamari Lassiter at No. 43 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in slot 74 with a little surplus value in Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Good price on Ja'Lynn Polk in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
A premium they did not need to pay, Spencer Rattler a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke McCaffrey. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cody Schrader at slot 187 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick197 Rnd6 Trey Knox
Value said wait; Trey Knox in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
