Round 3, Pick No. 78: Matt Hennessy, C, Temple
Round 4, Pick No. 119: Mykal Walker, LB, Fresno State

Round 7, Pick No. 228 (from Buccaneers through Eagles): Sterling Hofrichter, P, Syracuse
Needing defensive help, Atlanta took Clemson DB A.J. Terrell with the No. 16 pick. We think this is a bit of a reach, particularly with the likes of Patrick Queen, CeeDee Lamb, and K’Lavon Chaisson still on the board. Marlon Davidson has talent, though is beset by both conditioning issues and a lack of consistency. He’s a nice ‘hit’ if he can stay in shape. However, Davidson is far from a sure thing (which isn’t assuring as a second-round pick). Keep an eye on fourth-round pick Jaylinn Hawkins from Cal. He can be a fixture on special teams from the jump.
