Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall
D-

NeedB
TradesF
FutureB-
The Falcons won the night they stopped Fitzgerald from sliding. Grade: D-. You could see the war room lean forward. Ryan Fitzgerald at the Round 7 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.
Bailey has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, wide receiver very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a lead back with juice, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In the 20th pick they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value.
Pick39
Rnd2
Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers at the Round 2 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick41
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Good price on Tyler Booker in pick No. 41, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick46
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
They talked themselves into Donovan Ezeiruaku at No. 46, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick51
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the 51st overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick72
Rnd3
David Bailey
David Bailey at pick 72 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116
Rnd4
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in slot 116 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick195
Rnd6
Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242
Rnd7
Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in No. 242 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
