Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons let Fitzgerald fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ryan Fitzgerald had no business being available in pick No. 189, and the Falcons did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The Arroyo reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In slot 15 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 46 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick120 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Elijah Arroyo this early at the Round 4 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick189 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at the 189th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
You do not let a safety like Jonas Sanker reach pick 242 and blink. They did not. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
