Good, not great, for the Falcons: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Falcons did exactly that with Drew Kendall in No. 242.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Watts value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In No. 15 they get a problem off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 58, where Xavier Watts graded well above the range. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick118 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at Round 4, Pick 16 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They took Jordan Hancock at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
A reach for Jaylin Smith in the 241st overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick242 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Drew Kendall. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
