Hard to find the plan in the Falcons' weekend. D.

The Falcons spent real capital to be 236 picks early on Xzavier Henderson, and the board is going to hold them to it. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

Getting Etienne where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Elijah Roberts
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a premier pass rusher, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xzavier Henderson
They reached a country mile for Xzavier Henderson at the 46th pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick118 Rnd4 Ahmed Hassanein
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ahmed Hassanein well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick218 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
They robbed the room for Trevor Etienne here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jack Nelson
Circle this one: Jack Nelson at the 242nd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
