The Falcons cashed the board's mistake on Trotter Jr.: B.

The board owed the Falcons one, and it paid up: Jeremiah Trotter Jr., the No. 74 name on the board, sitting there at the 109th pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick No. 8 they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the 43rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 15, where Kingsley Suamataia graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They robbed the room for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
No drama and no debate, Tykee Smith went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell slipping to No. 187 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Kalen King
Kalen King in pick 197 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
