Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 109 lands the Falcons a B-, Polk and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Ja'Lynn Polk tumbling to the Falcons in slot 109 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

They will need Mahogany to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In No. 8 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. is a better player than pick No. 43 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick74 Rnd3 Max Melton
A want over a need in slot 74: Max Melton adds a cornerback while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick79 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in pick 79 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109 Rnd4 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in Round 4, Pick 9 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
Nothing to complain about; Isaiah Adams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick187 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They will replay Dwight McGlothern at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick197 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence in the 197th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
