Good, not great, for the Falcons: B-. Some picks age like wine; Ty Thompson at the 224th pick will need to, sitting 151 spots clear of his grade.
The Lawson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Job largely done: quarterback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick43
Rnd2
Jayden Maiava
No drama and no debate, Jayden Maiava went about where he belonged in pick 43. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74
Rnd3
Romello Height
The board had Romello Height higher than Round 3, Pick 10, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109
Rnd4
Deontae Lawson
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Deontae Lawson in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick189
Rnd6
Kayin Lee
A wild overpay on Kayin Lee in slot 189, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick224
Rnd7
Ty Thompson
They talked themselves into Ty Thompson at the 224th pick, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
