Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
Nobody dealt better than the Falcons this weekend: A-.

The Falcons ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. That Turner pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Reaching for Baker left real value on the table behind him.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner slid further than he should have, and pick 30 is lovely value for the edge rusher. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick51 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They took T.J. Tampa at par in the 51st overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick70 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ruke Orhorhoro. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Javon Baker
They liked Javon Baker enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 74. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A reach on Brenden Rice in the 80th pick; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at No. 84 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109 Rnd4 Maason Smith
They paid sticker price for Maason Smith in Round 4, Pick 9, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
The board had cheaper options than McKinnley Jackson at the 111th pick, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Fair-plus on Jarrian Jones, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
