For all the boxes ticked, the Falcons skipped the loudest one: offensive lineman is exactly as bare as it was. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Barham has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The Hood pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
