If you asked new Falcons guard Chris Lindstrom or tackle Kaleb McGary, they’d probably give Atlanta’s draft an A+ grade after being selected in the first round by Atlanta on Thursday night.
Of course, they’re biased. Both were selected higher than they were projected to go, which could skew analysts’ grades of the Falcons’ draft efforts so far. SB Nation’s draft guru, Dan Kadar of Mocking the Draft, for example, gives the Falcons a B- for their selection of Lindstrom at No. 14, and trading back into the first round to take McGary earns the Falcons a C+.
