Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Falcons.

Nobody had Frank Gore Jr. this high, and it is not close. The Falcons reached 39 spots to get him at the 188th overall pick. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The Frazier value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 8th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
No drama and no debate, Kamari Lassiter went about where he belonged in the 43rd pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick74 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at No. 74 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Fair-plus on Cole Bishop, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick143 Rnd5 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt in slot 143 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick188 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A big swing on Frank Gore Jr. at the 188th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
The board had cheaper options than Jared Wiley at No. 197, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
Jalen Sundell at Round 7, Pick 27 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
