Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Falcons did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Falcons torched the value chart for David Bailey, taking him 59 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Hudson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams in the 15th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick55 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
By-the-book stuff, Ashton Gillotte at No. 55 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 David Bailey
They reached a country mile for David Bailey at pick 86, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. slipping to the 117th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick201 Rnd6 Brant Kuithe
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brant Kuithe this early at the Round 6 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Value with a capital V on Cam Jackson in pick No. 244, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Steal is underselling it; Kobe Hudson at pick 253 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
