Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC+
The Falcons turned the phones into found money: B.

The Falcons put a flag in the ground for Brandon Dorlus, 33 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at the 20th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick21 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In No. 21 they get a go-to option on the outside, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at pick No. 48 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 17 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Caelen Carson. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They paid up for Jared Wiley at pick 186 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick196 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
They took Drake Nugent at par in the 196th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
