23. Atlanta Falcons

There was plenty of blame to go around for the Atlanta Falcons after their epic collapse in the Super Bowl. At the end of the day though it was the inability of their cornerback to consistently cover the Patriots receivers on key downs that eventually led to their demise. A returning Desmond Trufant should help them but it’s still a group that could use another jolt in the playmaking department. <p>Jaire Alexander may be average in terms of height but the cornerback proved he could get his hands on the football with five interceptions in 2016. Scouts are anxious to see if that trend continues for another year at Louisville. Teams can overlook size concerns if the players proven consistent at disrupting the football. Alexander has that special knack for playing coverage, though he needs to ease up the gambling streak.</p>. CB. Louisville. Jaire Alexander . 23. player. 44
