Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Falcons bled value on every deal, hence the D.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Shilo Sanders in slot 193, a good 65 spots before the room expected him.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Walker at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a problem off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Tyler Warren in No. 34, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 49th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick51 Rnd2 Trey Amos
They paid sticker price for Trey Amos in slot 51, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at pick No. 85 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
You do not let a safety like Malachi Moore reach pick 117 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They let Jake Majors come to them and pounced at slot 118. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at pick 121 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193 Rnd6 Shilo Sanders
A real head-scratcher, Shilo Sanders in the 193rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
