Harrison Hand, CB, Temple

Draft Profile:

"Harrison Hand is an intriguing early Day 3 option. Some teams will peg Hand as a safety due to some natural restrictions with his transitions in off coverage — but for Cover 3 heavy defenses Hand can be a booming presence to crash into the LOS and play run support. Whether he’s a safety convert or a scheme-specific cornerback, there’s starter potential here. He’s savvy in shallow zones, he’s got great length and he’ll step up in support and smack you. Like his foundation to develop."

Hand fits everything that the Falcons do not currently have on its roster at corner. He is like a faster Keanu Neal and better than Brian Poole was during his time in Atlanta. With the NFL not able to conduct traditional visits and workouts, a guy like Harrison Hand will not be a household name to most people and that is good for the Falcons.

He not only provides immediate depth in the secondary but he will also push for playing time from the moment he arrives. It is not often that a guy like this falls into your lap on day three of the draft, but he will and even of the Falcons have to trade up to grab him, he would be worth it.
