Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB- NeedC+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Falcons for Bowen: B.

The Falcons spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Eli Bowen, the No. 180 name on the board, in slot 221. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They are betting Moore proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

It is not that McClain is a bad player; it is that the Falcons had louder needs to answer first.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 KJ Bolden
In the 13th pick they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jaylen McClain
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Jaylen McClain in slot 75 leaves offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick112 Rnd4 Terry Moore
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 4 slot on Terry Moore with offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick218 Rnd6 Jide Abasiri
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Jide Abasiri reach No. 218 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick221 Rnd6 Eli Bowen
Eli Bowen at the 221st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick232 Rnd7 Bryce Thornton
Circle this one: Bryce Thornton at pick No. 232 is a fall that decides a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
