CB Isaiah Oliver
Jason Getz-USA TODAY SportsOliver is on this list because Desmond Trufant is now playing for the Lions. The Falcons needed cap space, but Trufant’s quick landing with Detroit is indicative of how good he still is when healthy. Oliver was was forced to step up with Trufant injured last season, often being targeted and picked on before the team’s second-half surge.
He definitely improved and is a starting corner in this league, but how good can Oliver be in his third season? The Falcons have Kendall Sheffield and Blidi Wreh-Wilson, but the team lacks experience at the outside corner position. Expect Atlanta to add a defensive back in the draft. As potentially the team’s No. 1 corner, though, Oliver will feel the heat this season.
