23. Atlanta Falcons

USC. Iman Marshall . 23. player. 44. Where did it all go wrong for the Atlanta Falcons? Truth be told it was a variety of factors that saw them lose the Super Bowl, but a big one was the failure of their cornerbacks to hold back the tide of the Patriots passing attack. Missing Desmond Trufant was a big part of that, but they didn’t have great depth to begin with. Something they really have to address going into 2018. <p>USC has quite the defensive back history and Iman Marshall has a chance to join it. He has the qualities that make an NFL corner from the size to the athleticism and ability to mirror receivers in coverage. He’s also big enough to play the physical brand of football that Dan Quinn covets in his defenses. Maybe not quite Richard Sherman big but certainly not one to look down on.</p>. CB
