31. Atlanta Falcons
44. It really is remarkable the Atlanta Falcons pass defense held on for as long as it did. In the end though, no amount of great scheming or pass rush could hide one of their fatal flaws. That being a lack of reliable cover corners. The absence of Desmond Trufant was noticeable a lot in the playoffs, and especially late in the Super Bowl when it mattered most. This team needs more guys who can cover and this draft is stacked with options. <p>Teez Tabor has a rather weird stock. Some people love him. Others don’t. What is clear is he was quite effective at Florida. He can play man-to-man, using his length and athleticism to match up with anybody. His ball skills are solid and he carries himself with a lot of swagger. Some question his speed but they did the same thing with Richard Sherman. Head coach Dan Quinn knows this well. He won’t fear making this pick.</p>. CB. Florida. Teez Tabor . 31. player
