Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons let Mondon Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: C.

The board owed the Falcons one, and it paid up: Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 42 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 120 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The Ezeiruaku pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Hit on Donovan Ezeiruaku and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Donovan Ezeiruaku
In the 21st overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Hollin Pierce
They reached a country mile for Hollin Pierce at the 59th pick, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 120 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in pick No. 122 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick195 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
They paid a round early for Tonka Hemingway in Round 6, Pick 20, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick231 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
Good price on Bryson Nesbit in slot 231, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
