Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
The Falcons let Grant fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Charles Grant, pick 118, roughly 27 picks past where he belonged.

The cost of the James reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick 20 they get the heartbeat of the defense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at slot 46 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick51 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
No drama and no debate, Azareye'h Thomas went about where he belonged in pick No. 51. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick118 Rnd4 Charles Grant
They will replay Charles Grant at the 118th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218 Rnd7 Shemar James
A big swing on Shemar James at the 218th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks in No. 242 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
