There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Falcons started one anyway for John Williams, 24 picks ahead of schedule. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They banked enough surplus on Higgins to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

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 sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
