What it will mean for the Falcons if they take a CB at 14

The Falcons love cornerbacks. In Thomas Dimitroff’s Falcons era, few positions have received as much draft love (or trade love, or free agent dollars) than cornerback, starting with the immortal Chevis Jackson and ranging onward to Dunta Robinson, Asante Samuel, and eventually Desmond Trufant. So in that light, a cornerback at 14 would not be at all surprising, seeing as Dimitroff is still at the helm and Dan Quinn’s abiding fondness for CBs is equally known.

It would be a seismic sort of selection, however. If the Falcons take a cornerback at #14, they are not doing so in order to bolster their depth for 2019, but to supplant an existing starter.
