The Falcons appear set to place a big bet on young players and coaching at cornerback

The Atlanta Falcons have signed five cornerbacks since free agency opened. Two of them are veterans, with 2023 part-time Cardinals starter Antonio Hamilton and comeback-hopeful and former Packers corner Kevin King joining the roster before the draft. Three of them are undrafted free agents, from North Dakota State’s Jayden Price to MidAmerican Nazarene’s Anthony Sao to Minnesota State’s Trey Vaval. That’s it.

This is a fairly striking thing, because this is not a proven, high-end group of cornerbacks. Jeff Okudah started a significant portion of the season in 2023 and is gone, and valuable reserve Tre Flowers has not returned.
