The Downs reach set the tone, and the Falcons never recovered: F.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Ethan Downs; the Falcons did not wait, grabbing him 159 spots ahead at slot 117. A weekend to file away and forget, and an F to match.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Reid pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The veteran additions, Myles Garrett chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a security blanket over the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Ethan Downs
A real head-scratcher, Ethan Downs in the 117th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Taking Karene Reid in the 244th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
