Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Falcons worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The Falcons looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Ahmed Hassanein at pick 117 regardless, 109 picks early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

The veteran additions, John Franklin-Myers chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
A quiet steal in slot 20: Jahdae Barron for less than the market said. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick46 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
No edge and no loss on Aireontae Ersery in Round 2, Pick 14; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Deone Walker
By-the-book stuff, Deone Walker at pick 63 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Ahmed Hassanein
They reached a country mile for Ahmed Hassanein at No. 117, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III in the 121st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193 Rnd6 CJ West
A wild overpay on CJ West in the 193rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick199 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the 199th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
A big swing on Nohl Williams at No. 244, well ahead of any board in the building. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
