Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Falcons and Fitzgerald: B-.

When a board-topper like Ryan Fitzgerald slides to slot 242, you do not overthink it, and the Falcons did not.

They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Alexander has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 15th pick they get a problem off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in pick No. 46 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 116th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick242 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
A specialist of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 26 is the definition of value, full stop. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
