Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons won the night they stopped Lew from sliding. Grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Connor Lew at No. 114 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

If Thomas pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald at No. 48 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Chris Johnson
They will replay Chris Johnson at slot 79 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick114 Rnd4 Connor Lew
Circle this one: Connor Lew at pick No. 114 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. in pick 195 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick231 Rnd7 Noah Thomas
Noah Thomas at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
