Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Nobody dealt better than the Falcons this weekend: B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Falcons came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The Solomon pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, running back and other spots. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

On value alone, Solomon makes the weekend a net positive. The Falcons clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner at the 11th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick49 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in pick 49 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kingsley Suamataia. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Nice patience on Ruke Orhorhoro, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
A slide stopped in slot 109, with Christian Mahogany worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
A curious use of Round 4, Pick 29. Quarterback, running back and other spots needed the pick; an OLB-EDGE in Javon Solomon did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Ainias Smith at No. 143, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kalen King
Kalen King in the 149th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick157 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
No edge and no loss on Sione Vaki in pick No. 157; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick187 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They took Tanor Bortolini at par in No. 187, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick197 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in Round 6, Pick 22 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
