Draft Grade — Falcons

ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons cashed the board's mistake on Reid: B-.

The board owed the Falcons one, and it paid up: Karene Reid, the No. 194 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 7 slot like a gift left on the doorstep.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Swinson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
No drama and no debate, Kenneth Grant went about where he belonged in the 15th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick46 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bradyn Swinson this early at pick 46. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tommi Hill
They liked Tommi Hill enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 117. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick244 Rnd7 Karene Reid
The board fumbled Karene Reid all the way to slot 244, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
