The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Falcons watched Jake Slaughter slide 71 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If Branch pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
