The trade table was where it all came apart. The Falcons shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Little went right, and the F does not pretend otherwise.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left offensive lineman open, and the grade is the bill.
