The Atlanta Falcons officially hired former Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski on January 17th. Since then, there have been 13 mock drafts where the Falcons, who are without a 2026 1st-round pick, in case you forgot, are selecting at least one player. Some pundits got so bold as to go through all seven rounds; others set their sights on the top 100. Either way, since Stefanski signed on the dotted line, 26 draft prospects have been sent to Atlanta.

It didn't take long for the Washington Commanders to come up among the suitors for cornerback Trevon Diggs after he was released by the Dallas Cowboys. His previous connection to head coach Dan Quinn dictated nothing else, in all honesty. That does not detract from the fact that this would be a high-risk gamble if general manager Adam Peters gave it the green light.

Listed at 5-foot-10 and 183 pounds, cornerback Mike Sainristil is the smallest player on the Washington Commanders' roster. That has never been seen as a problem because of the Michigan product's savvy and toughness. But as Sainristil has struggled for much of this season, questions about his size have started to crop up. The common wisdom was that Sainristil would thrive this year because he would be able to move to his more natural slot corner position.

Adebo was set to make his return after missing three games with a knee injury. He was not among the pregame inactives. But the decision was made after Adebo took the field in uniform an hour before the game. It left the Giants with Cor'Dale Flott, Deonte Banks and recently acquired Korie Black, Jarrick Bernard-Convers and Rico Payton as their healthy cornerbacks.

Last year was a down year for Fitzpatrick; he permitted a 127 passer rating in his coverage area, down from excellent numbers the previous five years.

The Seahawks are bringing back veteran cornerback Shaquill Griffin on a one-year, $3 million contract, addressing their need for depth at cornerback.
