2020 NFL Draft: The best fits for the Falcons on day 2

Here are the top players remaining based on their fits with the Falcons.

After selecting A.J. Terrell in the first round, the Falcons can effectively knock corner off their shopping list. But which positions should the team target on the day two? Examining Atlanta’s roster, there aren’t really any pressing needs outside of maybe a starting strong-side linebacker and a player to compete at what is already a competitive left guard spot.

Here are the top players remaining based on their fits with the Falcons.

Atlanta could use some competition at safety. Winfield and Delpit were some of the best safeties in the draft this year in terms of pure deep-ball ability. With the Falcons switching to Raheem Morris as defensive coordinator, we should all be expecting more cover-two looks.

A.J. Epenesa would be a bit redundant to Allen Bailey and John Cominsky, but the Falcons would see him as too good to pass up. Epenesa could come in right away and compete for a role at either nickel defensive tackle or strong-side defensive end in base. Atlanta could instantly slot him into the role that Jack Crawford played for the last three seasons and improve on it.
