Draft Grade — Falcons

FutureA+
The Falcons got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the B-. The Falcons looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Que Robinson at Round 4, Pick 16 regardless, 136 picks early.
They banked enough surplus on Gray to cover a lot of smaller sins. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.
It is not that Watts is a bad player; it is that the Falcons had louder needs to answer first. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick46
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
They robbed the room for Malaki Starks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick63
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
A surprising call. With quarterback, running back and other spots still to address, they spent Round 2, Pick 31 on Xavier Watts, a safety they were not short of.
Pick95
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at pick No. 95 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117
Rnd4
Que Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Que Robinson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
They took Darius Alexander at par in the 132nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137
Rnd4
Elijah Arroyo
Circle this one: Elijah Arroyo at slot 137 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175
Rnd5
Simeon Barrow Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Simeon Barrow Jr. at pick 175, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick208
Rnd6
Antwane Wells Jr.
They read the board right and Antwane Wells Jr. was the payoff at the 208th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212
Rnd6
Xavier Truss
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Xavier Truss well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244
Rnd7
Joshua Gray
The board fumbled Joshua Gray all the way to pick No. 244, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
