Draft Grade — Falcons

Good, not great, for the Falcons: B-.

The Gracen Halton pick is the one that will follow the Falcons into the fall. They took him 25 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The back end got a real overhaul.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick79 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
No drama and no debate, Zachariah Branch went about where he belonged in the 79th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114 Rnd4 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at pick 114 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Justin Jefferson
They paid sticker price for Justin Jefferson in Round 6, Pick 16, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jalen Huskey
Jalen Huskey in pick No. 231 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
