Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
The Falcons robbed the room for Hadden. Final grade: A-.

The Falcons ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. However the rest shakes out, Hadden at that price is a win they earned.

Bottom line, with Dallas Turner leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 14th pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They let Jackson Powers-Johnson come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 11. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick45 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 45; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Kingsley Suamataia worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in slot 75 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
They paid sticker price for Caelen Carson in pick 93, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
No drama and no debate, Cole Bishop went about where he belonged in slot 108. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick142 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
A reach on Justin Eboigbe in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at pick 186 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick196 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joe Milton III. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Frank Gore Jr. at pick No. 222, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
