TJ66 DRAFTING FOR THEFalcons
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Falcons a B-. Nobody had Cooper Mays this high, and it is not close. The Falcons reached 89 spots to get him at pick No. 218. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Walker pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Mike Green
In pick No. 15 they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick46
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at Round 2, Pick 14 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick118
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
A wild overpay on O'Donnell Fortune in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick218
Rnd7
Cooper Mays
Cooper Mays at slot 218 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick242
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa is a better player than No. 242 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
