Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB TradesB- FutureB
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Falcons get a C+.

The Falcons torched the value chart for Lideatrick Griffin, taking him 76 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 33 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
They reached a country mile for Ricky Pearsall at the 39th pick, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 43; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65 Rnd3 Austin Booker
The board had cheaper options than Austin Booker at Round 3, Pick 1, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in No. 74 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick79 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
Value said wait; Roger Rosengarten in pick 79 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in the 109th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick142 Rnd5 Johnny Dixon
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Johnny Dixon well ahead of where he belonged. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Travis in the Round 5 slot, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at slot 187 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197 Rnd6 Lideatrick Griffin
A big swing on Lideatrick Griffin at the 197th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
