The steal of the weekend belongs to the Falcons and Williams: D-.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Falcons shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

Phillips has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That Williams pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In No. 15 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A real need, handled.
Pick17 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 17th overall pick they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at Round 3, Pick 17 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
No edge and no loss on Anthony Belton in pick No. 117; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick244 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
The board fumbled Kyle Williams all the way to the 244th pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
