Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Falcons this weekend: C-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Falcons, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. A weekend of give and take that grades a C-.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. It is not that Abrams-Draine is a bad player; it is that the Falcons had louder needs to answer first.

So much rides on Kool-Aid McKinstry that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 15 they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at the 43rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They paid sticker price for Kris Jenkins in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick74 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
They took Mekhi Wingo at par in pick No. 74, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in the 82nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A tidy little value on Malachi Corley in pick 88, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
No drama and no debate, Tykee Smith went about where he belonged in No. 92. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick109 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They did well to land Blake Fisher in Round 4, Pick 9, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Kris Abrams-Draine adds a cornerback and leaves tight end untouched.
Pick166 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Fair-plus on Keith Randolph Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
Nothing to complain about; Rasheen Ali went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
