Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Falcons a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Falcons, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Adding Justin Fields by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. The Carson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at Round 2, Pick 11 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Nice patience on Caelen Carson, who had no business lasting to No. 74. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick75 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A reach for Michael Hall Jr. in slot 75; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They paid sticker price for Tommy Eichenberg in pick 109, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They took Jaylan Ford at par in the 145th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick189 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Good price on Christian Jones in the 189th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick201 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A tidy little value on Joshua Gray in pick No. 201, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
A conviction pick on Walter Rouse at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
