Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Falcons worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Falcons ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

Gore Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. That McConkey pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ladd McConkey at pick 43. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at No. 45 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick74 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
A straight-up fair deal on Marshawn Kneeland at pick No. 74, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick79 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in the 79th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
By-the-book stuff, Matt Goncalves at slot 109 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in Round 5, Pick 7 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick187 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A reach for Joe Milton III in the 187th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick197 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Frank Gore Jr. this early at No. 197. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick199 Rnd6 Logan Lee
They jumped the gun on Logan Lee, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
