In a fresh look at the 2019 draft, Pro Football Focus re-drafts Jamel Dean to the Atlanta Falcons instead of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Dean has been one of the NFL’s premier cover corners since entering the league, posting a 90.5 PFF coverage grade over six seasons and forcing 62 incompletions. PFF’s WAR metric calls him the most valuable corner from that class in this alternate universe, underscoring how one player’s placement can ripple across a franchise and fantasy verdicts alike.

The Falcons’ defensive ceiling gets a lift with Dean, while the Buccaneers’ title trajectory would likely shift without his elite ball skills. Fantasy-minded readers should note that while corners don’t typically produce huge point totals, top-tier coverage often translates into fewer big plays and more predictable, safer matchups for opponents’ stars. Dean’s presence in ATL reframes how we view this class and the value of elite cover corners in dynasty or DFS planning.
