Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Falcons walked right past.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took TeSlaa. They will need Simon to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
No edge and no loss on Mykel Williams in the Round 1 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick46 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They paid sticker price for Donovan Ezeiruaku in pick No. 46, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at the 118th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
A reach for Carson Vinson in slot 218; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa is a better player than pick 242 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
