It would be a smart move for the Falcons to pickup another cornerback late on in the draft. Out of Texas State is Craig Mager.
He is 5’11” and 201 pounds. He is a tough tackler and plays with passion. Mager would be a physical threat in the Falcons’ secondary.
Mager stood out at the East-West Shrine Game: He was solid in preventing receivers from gaining separation. He has plenty of upside and could develop into a starting cornerback long-term for the Falcons.
Zierlein wrote:
"“Productive, consistent four-year starter who plays with the aggressiveness and competitiveness that defensive coordinators will love. Mager has the twitch to close quickly on throws underneath and leaping ability to challenge jump balls. Teams question his ability to carry deep speed, which could impact his draft standing, but his talent and makeup give him a shot at becoming an NFL starter.”"
