Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Falcons robbed the room for Williams. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like Kyle Williams slides to the 244th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Falcons did not.

The Uiagalelei reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
James Pearce Jr. at Round 1, Pick 15 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick55 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They reached into another round for Maxwell Hairston, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor is a better player than the 86th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Nice patience on Jared Wilson, who had no business lasting to No. 117. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Hancock. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick244 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick253 Rnd7 DJ Uiagalelei
A big swing on DJ Uiagalelei at pick No. 253, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
