The Atlanta Falcons are fine tuning their draft boards in preparation for the upcoming 2019 NFL Draft, that commences on Thursday April 10th. Cornerback depth is certainly a need for Atlanta. The team has shown that they will draft the best available player that does fit a need, even it’s not necessarily their top need. Andraez “Greedy” Williams could be the man to fill that need.
TheAtlanta Falconshave seen changes at the cornerback position. Gone isRobert Alfordwho manned a starting spot for six seasons.Brian Poolethe starting nicked back for the last three years, was not offered a contract to return.Isaiah Oliverwho was drafted in the second round last year, is expected to take over for Alford.Damontae Kazee, who became the starting free safety after a season ending injury toRicardo Allen, is the favorite to take over at the nickel corner spot. The team also resignedBlidi Wreh-Wilsonto add depth at the position. Outside of that, there is not any established depth, making drafting at least one cornerback a priority for the Dirty Birds.
