Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Falcons: C+.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Falcons took David Walker a full 43 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. The Green steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
They took Jack Sawyer at par in pick No. 25, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick46 Rnd2 Mike Green
They let Mike Green come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick57 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 57th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at No. 102 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick118 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
They paid a round early for Harold Perkins Jr. in Round 4, Pick 17, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 David Walker
They talked themselves into David Walker at the 126th pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Que Robinson
A tidy little value on Que Robinson in Round 7, Pick 20, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
