TO PICK
 
Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Falcons: B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named offensive lineman, a need the Falcons walked right past.

The Tampa reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick 13 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in pick No. 43 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A straight-up fair deal on Kris Jenkins at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick79 Rnd3 Javon Baker
A tidy little value on Javon Baker in slot 79, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They paid sticker price for Mohamed Kamara in the 109th pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
