The Falcons cashed the board's mistake on McGlothern: B+. The Falcons did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Dwight McGlothern fell into No. 226.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. It is not that Sainristil is a bad player; it is that the Falcons had louder needs to answer first.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value.
Pick23
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In pick No. 23 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick44
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in the 44th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109
Rnd4
Mike Sainristil
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 9: Mike Sainristil adds a cornerback while running back, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in the 169th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
A tidy little value on Tanor Bortolini in pick 191, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick197
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
By-the-book stuff, Joe Milton III at slot 197 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick226
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
The board fumbled Dwight McGlothern all the way to No. 226, and they scooped it up. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick246
Rnd7
Nathan Thomas
Somehow Nathan Thomas was still sitting there in slot 246, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
