Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Falcons for Monheim: A-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jonah Monheim tumbling to the Falcons in slot 218 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The cost of the Hancock reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The veteran additions, John Franklin-Myers chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

In the end it comes back to Bradyn Swinson, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
The board had cheaper options than Bradyn Swinson at pick No. 46, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick51 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Circle this one: Jihaad Campbell at No. 57 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
No drama and no debate, Joshua Farmer went about where he belonged in pick 111. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
No edge and no loss on Jacob Parrish in Round 4, Pick 16; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Value said wait; Jordan Hancock in the 191st pick says they were not listening. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
They barely believed it either: Jonah Monheim still on the board at slot 218. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in the 230th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick242 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Fair-plus on Cam Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
