Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesC FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Falcons, and a C+ to match.

Some picks age like wine; KT Leveston at pick 197 will need to, sitting 22 spots clear of his grade.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Hit on Chop Robinson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 20 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value.
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the 31st pick they get an enforcer at safety, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in pick No. 49 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick81 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brandon Dorlus. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
They paid sticker price for Matt Goncalves in slot 102, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A reach on Johnny Wilson in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in slot 117 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 KT Leveston
This one needs a full-page explanation: KT Leveston in Round 6, Pick 22, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
