4th round

Depending on the players available at the top of round two, Atlanta may wait to address the cornerback position until their round four selections.

They start by adding former Temple standout Harrison Hand. Hand has the size and physicality that the Falcons love in their cornerback prospects and logged three interceptions for the Owls in 2019.

Atlanta has invested draft capital in cornerbacks each of the past three seasons and I don’t expect that to change in this draft, either.

Atlanta double-dips at cornerback to add Bopete Keyes, the likely runaway for Best Draft Name.

In addition to having a really fun name, Keyes is a pretty darn good football player. His excellent size, length, and explosiveness make him an intriguing developmental prospect for the Falcons in round four.

As they say, you can’t teach size but Atlanta is hoping they can at least teach him enough to one day wind up as a starter to match up with some of the big, physical wideouts littered throughout NFC South rosters.
