Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Falcons: B+.

The David Walker pick is the one that will follow the Falcons into the fall. They took him 62 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

They banked enough surplus on Alexander to cover a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick59 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
No drama and no debate, Azareye'h Thomas went about where he belonged in the 59th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick66 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
The board had Harold Fannin Jr. higher than pick 66, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They did well to land Donovan Jackson in the 89th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 David Walker
David Walker at Round 3, Pick 31 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 117 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick167 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Somehow Darius Alexander was still sitting there in slot 167, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
They barely believed it either: Theo Wease Jr. still on the board at pick No. 244. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick256 Rnd7 Sam Brown
Circle this one: Sam Brown at the 256th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
