Falcons Eye Day 3 Depth After Terrell and Branch Picks

Atlanta Falcons GM Ian Cunningham capped Day 2 by selecting CB Avieon Terrell (No. 48) and WR Zachariah Branch (No. 79), addressing premium positions; with Day 3 upcoming, Atlanta could add more cornerback or receiver depth and potentially target linebackers and defensive-line help, with a slate of Day 3 prospects highlighted by Dane Brugler (Kaleb Elarms-Orr, LT Overton, Logan Taylor, Bryce Boettcher, Rayshaun Benny, Rene Konga, Bishop Fitzgerald, JC Davis, David Gusta, Dontay Corleone) who could fit the Falcons’ needs and special-teams upside.

Falcons land Avieon Terrell, pairing the Terrell brothers in Atlanta's secondary

The Atlanta Falcons selected Clemson CB Avieon Terrell with the 48th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, pairing him with his brother A.J. Terrell to fortify the outside corners. Avieon brings strong coverage ability, ball skills, and versatile value (three sacks, five forced fumbles in 2025; can play nickel), and is expected to compete for an outside starting role opposite A.J. from day one, though his size may be tested by taller receivers in the NFC South. The Terrell duo could help address last year’s coverage woes and provide long-term stability in Atlanta's secondary.

Packers land Clemson corner Terrell in Kiper's 2026 mock draft

ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr.'s final 2026 mock has the Packers taking Clemson corner Avieon Terrell at No. 52, a speedy man-to-man defender who has 25 PBUs and 3 interceptions in college and five forced fumbles in 2025 (eight in two seasons). Terrell is 5'11", 186 lbs, and hamstring injuries have clouded his speed (private pro day run reportedly 4.67), but he could start for Green Bay in Year 1 if health cooperates. He’s the younger brother of A.J. Terrell and was an All-ACC pick for two straight seasons at Clemson, finishing his college career at age 21.

On day one of the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, defensive backs and tight ends spoke to the media while DLs and LBs began workouts.

Terrell’s brother) aims to top his sibling’s 40; Caleb Downs exudes confidence as a top defender; Mansoor Delane plans to skip workouts and let his 2025 tape speak for him (with a focus on improving ball production). These notes shape how teams may view the incoming draft class.
