Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB
The Falcons let Shough fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Falcons spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tyler Shough, the No. 142 name on the board, in the 199th pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will need Sanders to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Mike Green
They liked Mike Green enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 20. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Jihaad Campbell. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick63 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tre Harris at pick 63 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Somehow Donovan Jackson was still sitting there in No. 117, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in Round 4, Pick 31 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick199 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at pick No. 199 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick244 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shilo Sanders. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
