Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Falcons: B-.

The Falcons torched the value chart for Paris Shand, taking him 69 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The Knight Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
No drama and no debate, Jahdae Barron went about where he belonged in slot 15. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick46 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
The board fumbled Malaki Starks all the way to Round 2, Pick 14, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick117 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at the 117th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244 Rnd7 Paris Shand
Value said wait; Paris Shand in No. 244 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
