Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Falcons never addressed offensive lineman, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

Noel has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
They did well to land James Pearce Jr. in the Round 1 slot, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jaylin Noel
A reach for Jaylin Noel in slot 46; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cody Simon
The board had cheaper options than Cody Simon at pick 118, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick218 Rnd7 Simeon Barrow Jr.
No edge and no loss on Simeon Barrow Jr. in the 218th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick242 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Theo Wease Jr. at No. 242, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
