The real work happened on the phones. The Falcons fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

Bullock at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If Cephus pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Justin Fields deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
