Good, not great, for the Falcons: B.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Falcons walked out of the weekend still thin at offensive lineman, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

The Josephs value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Joshua Josephs
Joshua Josephs at the 42nd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick73 Rnd3 Ian Strong
Ian Strong in slot 73 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
