Draft Grade — Falcons

Grand theft in pick 218: the Falcons steal Hunter and grade out a B.

The board owed the Falcons one, and it paid up: Jarquez Hunter, the No. 188 name on the board, sitting there at slot 218 like a gift left on the doorstep. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in No. 46 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at the 118th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Taking Jarquez Hunter in Round 7, Pick 2 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick242 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A slide stopped in slot 242, with Isaac TeSlaa worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
