Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesC FutureB+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Falcons for Starks: B.

When a board-topper like Malaki Starks slides to the Round 3 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Falcons did not. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick 24 they get juice off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
They will replay Jahdae Barron at slot 46 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick97 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in the 118th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
Circle this one: Drew Kendall at No. 218 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick242 Rnd7 RJ Oben
RJ Oben at Round 7, Pick 26 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
