3 players the Falcons should consider trading for

With limited cap space, the Atlanta Falcons were forced to move on from six of last season’s starters, including their leading tackler, De’Vondre Campbell, and 2019 sack leader, Vic Beasley.

2019 Stats: 50 tackles (36 solo), 1 INT, 13 passes defended

Another 2017 first-round pick whose fifth-year option was declined, Conley was traded to the Texans from the Raiders during the middle of the 2019 season. At just 24 years old, Conley has a ton of upside even if he never becomes a true No. 1 cornerback. The Texans gave up a third-round pick for him, but clearly aren’t sold on his long-term potential after declining his option.

If Atlanta could acquire Conley for a future fifth or sixth-round pick, he would instantly provide depth and experience at corner. Conley excels in man coverage and has four interceptions in 31 career games. Perhaps Falcons defensive coordinator Raheem Morris could maximize the abilities of the former Ohio State standout.
