Washington. Sidney Jones . 26. player. 44. There really is no clever thinking or strategic planning in this situation. The Atlanta Falcons have one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL. They rank 31st and are allowing 283 yards through the air per game. It doesn’t get much worse. Part of the problem is a somewhat toothless pass rush but also a secondary that is pretty light on quality cornerbacks outside of Desmond Trufant. One of those two areas needs fixing.
<p>People always seek the potential superstars or hidden gems. Sometimes just taking the most qualified prospect can be the right thing to do. Nothing about Sidney Jones is eye-popping out of Washington. Nonetheless he is a sturdy, solid cornerback. He plays tough coverage with few mistakes, tackles well and features the size and ball skills teams like. Considering he comes from the same program as Marcus Peters, that only helps.</p>. CB
