The Falcons don’t currently have a fifth-round pick, so how will they address the sixth round?

The Falcons doesn’t currently have a fifth-round pick, so we’re moving all the way down to pick 200.

Unless a big-name player surprisingly drops this far, the Falcons will likely look for developmental prospects or low-importance positions.

One option might be cornerback J.C Jackson, who started for two years at Maryland.

Although Jackson was solid for the Terripans, he was previously charged with four felonies for armed robbery.

The charges were eventually dismissed, but teams are likely to still view this as a negative when scouting him.

Jackson could end up being a good piece for the Falcons secondary though, and he’s a low-risk, high-reward option.

Speaking of high-reward, another option for the Falcons could be Cedrick Wilson.

Wilson is a former high school quarterback who played wide receiver at Boise State.

He earned first-team all-conference recognition this season but is viewed as a developmental prospect.

If Wilson can develop within the Falcons system, he’d be another low-cost option for their high-powered offense.

The last option for the team is Chase Litton, who is a quarterback out of Marshall.Litton likely won’t start in the NFL, but he could turn into a solid backup.

Litton had issues with decision-making, but that could be corrected if he has time to learn behind Matt Ryan.
