You can hear the double-takes from here. The Falcons took Julian Fleming at slot 242, roughly 77 spots before his name belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Getting Ransom where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
