Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Falcons for Rakestraw Jr.: B+.

The Falcons ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

Rakestraw Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If Harrell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 8 they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the 55th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick89 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the 89th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at slot 199 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
No edge and no loss on Edefuan Ulofoshio in Round 7, Pick 24; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
