	Description:		The Atlanta Falcons cut veteran cornerback Casey Hayward Jr. over the weekend and it leads to questions about their plans at the cornerback position, especially with the 2023 NFL Draft looming in a few days. Host Aaron Freeman breaks down why the Hayward release was somewhat expected even if the timing wasn’t, and why the Falcons should have faith in ex-Detroit Lions corner Jeff Okudah to fill Hayward’s shoes opposite A.J. Terrell. He breaks down whether or not the Falcons have enough competent depth at outside cornerback, or if they’ll be in the market to upgrade at the nickel spot in the draft or via free agency later this offseason. Later, he discusses several draft prospects from the Senior and Shrine Bowls that could be on the Falcons radar including Darius Rush (South Carolina), Darrell Luter Jr. (South Alabama), Cam Smith (South Carolina), and Kei’Trel Clark (Louisville). He breaks down the coaching connection between the Falcons and the staffs at South Carolina and Illinois that could lead to them targeting one of several defensive backs available in the draft. Finally, Saivion Mixon (@aroundtheblock876) joins to discuss some potential safeties, including Sydney Brown (Illinois) that could be options for the Falcons. He also discusses why the versatility of Jammie Robinson (Florida State) and Marte Mapu (Sacramento State) make them attractive to the Falcons.
