The Falcons drew a line under the quarterback search with Maye: B-.

Start where it matters. The Falcons took Drake Maye to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

Eichenberg has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Dixon at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick8 Rnd1 Drake Maye

In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by. Exactly the need they had to hit.

Pick43 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy

A premium they did not need to pay, Xavier Worthy a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.

Pick74 Rnd3 Zak Zinter

Zak Zinter in slot 74 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.

Pick79 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss

By-the-book stuff, Jonah Elliss at Round 3, Pick 15 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.

Pick110 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg

This one needs a full-page explanation: Tommy Eichenberg in the 110th pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
