31. Atlanta Falcons

Sidney Jones . 31. player. 44. Often the mark of many Super Bowl losers is that their biggest weakness is exposed at the worst possible time. For the Atlanta Falcons is became almost unbearably true. They started out so well, but sure enough as the front seven began to tire Tom Brady started to pick away at their undermanned secondary. One that didn’t have its best player in Desmond Trufant. It was proof they need more help at cornerback. <p>Washington is fast becoming a pipeline for serious NFL talent. Marcus Peters proved that in Kansas City. Sidney Jones could be their latest cornerback project that works out well in the pros. He too has that nice combination of size, speed and athleticism to go along with ball skills. Leave him on an island outside or in the slot and odds are he’ll do his job almost every time. Exactly what Dan Quinn will be looking for.</p>. CB. Washington
