21. Atlanta Falcons

Virginia Tech. Adonis Alexander . 21. player. 44. Where did the Atlanta Falcons go wrong in the Super Bowl? For the most part the defense was on the field way too long and it showed up at the worst possible time in the 4th quarter. Tom Brady took advantage as one would expect. However, the lack of consistent coverage from the cornerbacks could also be a big point of contention. Desmond Trufant was injured and nobody else stepped up. <p>Even with him returning the team needs to get another body who can man the opposite boundary. Dan Quinn with his background would love an athletic corner with size, similar to Richard Sherman. Nobody in the 2018 class fits that profile better than Adonis Alexander. He’s got the same sort of frame with the in-your-face playing style. He doesn’t back down from anybody and wins his fair share of battles.</p>. CB
