FLOWERY BRANCH — Cornerback Robert Alford was too good for the Falcons to pass up in the second round of the NFL draft on Friday night, even though Atlanta also selected a cornerback in the first round. Alford, from Southeastern Louisiana, joined Washington's Desmond Trufant in an unusual first two days for the Falcons' draft: two picks and two cornerbacks. Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said there was an urgent need to add more than one cornerback after the team released Dunta Robinson and had Brent Grimes and Chris Owens leave as free agents.
