2020 NFL Draft: Complete grades for every team

Luke Easterling breaks down the 2020 NFL Draft, giving out early grades for all 32 teams

Atlanta Falcons

The Dirty Birds kicked things off with the first big reach of the first round, taking Clemson’s A.J. Terrell over a handful of other corner prospects more worthy of the No. 16 overall pick.

They bounced back with a pair of solid selections on Day 2, filling needs in the trenches on both sides of the ball with Auburn defensive lineman Marlon Davidson and Temple center Matt Hennessy. Both were taken a little earlier than I would have projected, but they fit exactly what Atlanta needs at both positions.

Day 3 brought the Falcons a pair of high-upside defenders in Fresno State linebacker Mykal Walker and Cal safety Jaylinn Hawkins, both of whom have starter upside and the ability to contribute immediately on special teams. Some promising picks here, but that first-round reach holds down the overall grade.

GRADE: C+
