Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Falcons: B-.

Every other box got a look, but interior defensive lineman did not. The Falcons will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

Baker has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Brandon Baker
They paid a round early for Brandon Baker in slot 48, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Drew Mestemaker
Drew Mestemaker at Round 3, Pick 15 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Coen Echols
No drama and no debate, Coen Echols went about where he belonged in the 114th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Peyton Bowen
A straight-up fair deal on Peyton Bowen at pick No. 195, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick231 Rnd7 London Humphreys
Good price on London Humphreys in No. 231, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
