Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Falcons and Ransom: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Falcons watched Lathan Ransom slide 134 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In No. 15 they get an island corner, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Josh Simmons
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in Round 4, Pick 16 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at slot 244 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
