Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall A-
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Falcons worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

The Oluwafemi Oladejo selection is the head-turner. The Falcons reached 144 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

Landing Fitzgerald that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jared Ivey and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick58 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
They reached into another round for Jared Ivey, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oluwafemi Oladejo well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick No. 117 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 127th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick140 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Luke Lachey. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Taking Jared Wilson in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 15 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in slot 244 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
