You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Falcons did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. It washes out to a C, no better and no worse.

If Wagner pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.
