You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Falcons did exactly that with Elijah Sarratt in pick 48.
They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.
Pick-by-Pick
Elijah Sarratt at pick 48 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
