Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons let Holmes Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somebody in pick No. 46 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Falcons sat still while A.J. Holmes Jr., the No. 26 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

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

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Cam Coleman
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 A.J. Holmes Jr.
A.J. Holmes Jr. at No. 46 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Andrew Sprague
They paid up for Andrew Sprague at slot 77 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery at the 116th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
