3. A.J. Terrell

The Atlanta Falcons elected to go ahead and draft A.J. Terrell in the first-round of the NFL Draft and they won’t be sorry for it.

Terrell is already penciled in as a starting cornerback and his elite coverage ability is going to be on display from the beginning. He’s going to have the opportunity to go up against some historically great quarterbacks in his division- with Tom Brady and Drew Brees as divisional rivals- and that will lead to him growing up rather quickly.

Terrell shows great athleticism and coverage ability. Because of that, he’s going to make a big splash for the Falcons.
