The Falcons cashed the board's mistake on Nolen: D.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Gino Garcia at Round 4, Pick 16, a reach of 187 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Nolen at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. With offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on specialist is the choice that costs them.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and offensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Que Robinson
In No. 15 they get a double-digit-sack hope, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick114 Rnd4 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in slot 114 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118 Rnd4 Gino Garcia
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Gino Garcia at specialist with offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick140 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
The board fumbled Terrance Ferguson all the way to pick 140, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick218 Rnd7 Walter Nolen
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 2 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at No. 237 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick242 Rnd7 Bam Martin-Scott
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bam Martin-Scott in pick 242, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
