Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Falcons were there to profit. Jalon Walker, the No. 24 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 58th pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If Williams pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
