10. Geoff Swaim, TE, Tennessee Titans

Geoff Swaim is a skilled tight end with a strong ability to block as an in-line blocker. He is a reliable and consistent performer who is known for his physicality and toughness on the field. Swaim’s strength lies in his ability to make crucial blocks and create opportunities for his teammates on the field. He would be an excellent addition to the Falcons, especially in Arthur Smith’s run-heavy scheme. Swaim’s experience and skill set make him a perfect fit for the team, especially in red-zone situations where his blocking abilities can help create scoring opportunities for the team.

9. Shaquill Griffin, CB, Jacksonville Jaguars

Last season, the Falcons faced a significant number of injuries at their cornerback position. Bringing in experienced players could greatly improve their situation, with Shaquille Griffin being a potential option. Although Griffin is recovering from a back injury that limited his playing time in 2022, he could offer good value if acquired at a discounted price. Despite being released by the Jaguars after two years of a three-year, $44.5 million free-agent contract, Griffin has started in 72 games over his six NFL seasons and was selected to the Pro Bowl as an injury replacement in 2019. A one-year contract could provide the Falcons depth and competition at the outside corner position.
