2020 NFL Draft: Full grades for every 1st-round pick

Luke Easterling breaks down every first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, grading each selection

16. Atlanta Falcons

A.J. Terrell | CB | Clemson

The first big reach of the first round, Atlanta wanted a corner badly, but they passed up a handful of prospects far more worthy of being selected in the top half of the first round.

Terrell’s not as bad as his struggles in last year’s national title game might suggest, and his combination of size and length is indeed attractive. But his inconsistency and lack of polish makes him a risky pick this early.

There are four or five other corners that would have been better values here, and even prospects at other positions that would have made better use of this pick.

GRADE: D
