Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Falcons were there to profit. Donovan Jackson, the No. 82 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 117th pick. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

The cost of the Kennard reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
