Falcons fans can only hope perfect NFL Draft target has draft day slide

Cornerback and wide receiver are the two biggest holes on this Atlanta Falcons' roster, and fans should expect both of those needs to be addressed during the 2026 NFL Draft. This receiver class is one of the strongest in recent memory, but finding another late-round gem in the secondary could prove difficult.

Due to the James Pearce Jr. trade with the Rams, the Dirty Birds don't have a 2026-first round pick, so Terry Fontenot will need to improve this roster without picking until the middle of Day 2. Fans are hoping to see a blue chip prospect slip, and Clemson DB Avieon Terrell could be that player.
