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

The rest of the league had time to spare on Akeem Dent; the Falcons did not wait, grabbing him 85 spots ahead at pick No. 248.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Edgerrin Cooper. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick74 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
A tidy little value on Caelen Carson in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick75 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Good price on Adisa Isaac in pick 75, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
No drama and no debate, Blake Fisher went about where he belonged in the 109th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at Round 5, Pick 9 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick146 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Curtis Jacobs well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tatum Bethune
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tatum Bethune in the Round 6 slot, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A wild overpay on Brevyn Spann-Ford in Round 6, Pick 30, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248 Rnd7 Akeem Dent
Akeem Dent at the 248th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
