Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 231st pick: the Falcons steal Bentley and grade out a B-.

Call it larceny. Dallen Bentley sat on the board until Round 7, Pick 15, and the Falcons did not need to be asked twice. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Daniels reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
They did well to land Keith Abney II in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick79 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
No edge and no loss on Domonique Orange in slot 79; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at pick No. 114 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick197 Rnd6 Aaron Graves
Aaron Graves in the 197th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231 Rnd7 Dallen Bentley
Dallen Bentley in No. 231 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
