A solid, sensible weekend for the Falcons: B. The rest of the league had time to spare on Jaylin Lane; the Falcons did not wait, grabbing him 26 spots ahead at the 244th pick.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
In pick 17 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
They took Aireontae Ersery at par in pick No. 46, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
A reach for O'Donnell Fortune in No. 117; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick118
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in the 118th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick244
Rnd7
Jaylin Lane
Jaylin Lane in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
