The Falcons have swapped up from #117 and threw in pick #186 for pick #111 and wound up with Ohio State CB Kendall Sheffield.
The team was strongly tied to cornerbacks throughout the pre-draft process, and they’ve made a CB their third selection in this class, indicating that they like Sheffield’s potential over the long haul even if there may not be room for to start in 2019. Sheffield needs coaching, per most scouting reports, and isn’t necessarily a ballhawk. However, he’s extremely fast and combines the ability to smother receivers with the ability to get into the air and hang with tall receivers, despite his modest height.
