Track record read
La llegada de Ian Cunningham marca una transición clara en Atlanta. Mientras que el régimen anterior, quizás en su afán por generar impacto, tendía a invertir picks altos en corredores o receptores, además de apostar fuerte en el trench defensivo, la primera cosecha de Cunningham muestra un enfoque más tradicional. El CB Avieon Terrell en R2 y el WR Zachariah Branch en R3 sugieren una priorización del talento en la secundaria y en el slot, buscando quizás jugadores con un floor más definido.
The board · Rounds 1–7
Three names per every pick.
Only the rounds where the team owns a pick (per Tankathon). A blend of need plus best value on the board.
First round
3 names
Kelley Jones
Mississippi State
CBHe brings the boundary CB the Falcons need, erasing one side of the field; the ceiling is elite, if his long hips don't penalize him too much.
Austin Siereveld
Ohio State
IOLBrings that interior anchor the run game badly needed. A high-floor starter; if he refines his pass pro base, his ceiling rises.
Chris Cole
Georgia
LBHe brings that brutal range the Falcons' LB corps needs. Sky-high ceiling if he cleans up block deconstruction.
Second round
3 names
Vicari Swain
South Carolina
CBHe's that athletic CB Atlanta needs in man-coverage. Ball tracking is elite, but size vs. physical WRs is a watch.
Kade Pieper
Iowa
IOLHe brings that interior pass pro security the Falcons need. Instant starter floor; if we get functional weight on him, he'll be a top guy.
Xavier Atkins
Auburn
LBHe brings that backfield disruption Atlanta needs. If his size holds up against NFL blocks, the ceiling's high.
Third round
3 names
Jyaire Hill
Michigan
CBHis size fixes the fade right away; hip fluidity keeps his floor lower, but the upside is there.
Sheridan Wilson
Texas Tech
IOLReliable interior anchor, no pass rush pressures allowed. High floor protecting the QB; run game ceiling is the question.
Suntarine Perkins
Mississippi
LBSuntarine gives you a versatile LB, that third body in the rotation the defense needs. Might not anchor the middle, but the click-and-close is elite.
