Atlanta Falcons

No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Falcons.

For all the boxes ticked, the Falcons skipped the loudest one: offensive lineman is exactly as bare as it was. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Getting Johnson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Capehart reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.16 · Pick 48 · Chris Johnson · CB · rank 32
A tidy bit of business in pick 48, where Chris Johnson graded well above the range. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · Malachi Fields · WR · rank 72
Malachi Fields at pick No. 79 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.22 · Pick 122 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 136
A reach on DeMonte Capehart in No. 122; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.34 · Pick 215 · Aiden Fisher · LB · rank 222
No edge and no loss on Aiden Fisher in Round 6, Pick 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.15 · Pick 231 · Patrick Payton · DL-EDGE · rank 244
The board had cheaper options than Patrick Payton at the 231st overall pick, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
