Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons robbed the room for Wagner. Final grade: B.

The Falcons spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Aamil Wagner, the No. 166 name on the board, in the 195th overall pick.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Good price on Caleb Banks in slot 48, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
The board fumbled Jake Slaughter all the way to pick No. 79, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114 Rnd4 Will Lee III
Will Lee III in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick195 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
You do not let an offensive lineman like Aamil Wagner reach the 195th pick and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Value with a capital V on Jeff Caldwell in Round 7, Pick 15, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
