Falcons pre-draft poll: Which CB should Atlanta target?

Now that the Atlanta Falcons have parted ways with veteran Casey Hayward, they may be looking to add a cornerback in the 2023 NFL draft. The team recently traded for Jeff Okudah, but there’s no guarantee he’ll be on the team beyond next season.

If Atlanta does look to add another piece to its new-look secondary, Oregon’s Christian Gonzalez and Illinois DB Devon Witherspoon both figure to be in play. The two have consistently earned top-10 grades from scouts.

Which player would you prefer to see in a Falcons uniform next season (assuming they take a corner in Round 1)? Cast your vote in our latest fan poll below!
