Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesD- FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Falcons to a B-.

The war room fell hard for Oluwafemi Oladejo, and it showed at pick 117: 124 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

They banked enough surplus on Thornton Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at pick 46 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
The board had cheaper options than Donovan Ezeiruaku at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at slot 81 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick117 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Value said wait; Oluwafemi Oladejo in Round 4, Pick 16 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
By-the-book stuff, Luke Lachey at No. 195 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the 244th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Circle this one: Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 245 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
