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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Oluwafemi Oladejo at Round 4, Pick 16, a reach of 124 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

That Emmanwori pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot.
Pick46 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 46 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick51 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
By-the-book stuff, Marcus Mbow at the 51st pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Nothing to complain about; Trey Amos went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick117 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193 Rnd6 CJ West
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for CJ West. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Gino Garcia
A wild overpay on Gino Garcia in the 206th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick244 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Taking Trevor Etienne in the 244th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
