Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall D
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons fought the board and lost. D.

The Falcons did not so much draft Que Robinson as overpay for him, 176 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

The Gillotte value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Que Robinson
In No. 15 they get a bendy edge with upside, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kobe Hudson
They reached a country mile for Kobe Hudson at the 46th pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Nick Martin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nick Martin well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218 Rnd7 Ashton Gillotte
Somehow Ashton Gillotte was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 2, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jah Joyner
They barely believed it either: Jah Joyner still on the board at the 242nd overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
