A costly weekend of dealing drags the Falcons to a C-. The tape said wait; the Falcons did not. J. Michael Sturdivant went at pick No. 142, a good 134 picks before the board was ready.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Freeling falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
Hit on Monroe Freeling and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick48
Rnd2
Monroe Freeling
Steal is underselling it; Monroe Freeling at the 48th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73
Rnd3
Emmett Johnson
A wild overpay on Emmett Johnson in No. 73, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick79
Rnd3
Davison Igbinosun
They left a pile of value on the table to take Davison Igbinosun this early at the 79th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick142
Rnd5
J. Michael Sturdivant
They reached into another round for J. Michael Sturdivant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
