It's the first year on the job for the new head of the Atlanta Falcons front office, former quarterback Matt Ryan. It's still too early to judge Ryan's offseason moves based on the results, but we can at least evaluate his process.
So far, the best move that Ryan has made was one of his earliest: signing former Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to a one-year deal at the veteran minimum.
That move earned the Falcons an "A" grade from Bleacher Report in a piece re-ranking the biggest free agent moves of the year.
"Another no-brainer for another NFC team losing confidence in a third-year first-round pick. Tagovailoa is a flawed quarterback but has accomplished a lot (Pro Bowler, league's highest-rated passer, passing yardage leader) at the age of 28. Miami is footing most of the bill."
If Tagovailoa bombs during the regular season as he did in his preseason debut against Denver, at least it didn't really cost the Falcons anything. Ryan added critical depth at the game's most important position and did it on the cheap - that's always going to earn strong grades no matter how the player winds up performing.
