The first and biggest wave of 2020 NFL free agency has come and gone, and with the draft now right around the corner, the headlines of big-name veteran additions have slowed. But that doesn't mean teams have stopped looking for ways to improve their rosters and, in some cases, fill remaining needs.Defensive back, specifically, is a position a big handful of organizations figure to addre s in the coming weeks and months.Here's a look at some of the teams most in need of cornerback and safety help, as well as potential solutions:The Falcons weren't nece sarily to cut ties with , who ended 2019 on injured reserve, but now they need CB help like nobody's busine s. might finally be hitting his stride, but who else can man the outside here? should be insurance only. Regardle s, Atlanta has a penchant for adding DBs in the draft, so help should be on the way. Best solutions:Draft C.J. Henderson or another CB in the second roundSign ( )Whether they just draft a CB high, sign Breeland or do both, the Falcons can't leave the draft without at least one starter. Getting Ohio State's Jeff Okudah, the consensus No. 1 corner, would be the dream scenario, but Spud Webb Jersey Atlanta doesn't have the draft capital to move up that far, or at least smartly. Henderson would be a fine first-rounder and a steal of a second-rounder, whereas Breeland, one of the most underrated veterans still available, could come in and give you adequate No. 1-2 play from the jump.Isn't Buffalo's defense already dominant, you ask? Well, pretty much, but after losing in free agency, the Bills definitely need more depth, not to mention a long-term option for the outside, where an aging is one tweaked hamstring away from another lost season. Maybe Norman rekindles his fire in Buffalo, but is the only sure thing here.Best solutions:Draft a CB in the third or fourth roundEdge rusher is a bigger need to tackle in the second round, but come the end of Day Two or start of Day Three, Buffalo should have plenty of decent prospects to choose from, at least as developmental depth. Ohio State's Damon Arnette feels like the kind of feisty rookie who could learn under Sean McDermott if he's still on the board. Iowa's Michael Ojemudia could also make some sense. Either way, they aren't in dire need of more veteran help with Norman in tow. Their priority should be the pipeline. Should the Panthers have outbid the to keep ? That's debatable. But at 26, it's not Atlanta Hawks Hats like the guy couldn't have still been a building block. The hole he leaves is real, with only representing a proven piece in Carolina's secondary. Getting a long-term outside starter is priority No. 1 at the position, not to mention high up on the team's overall wish list.Best solutions:Draft Jeff Okudah or another CB in the second roundDraft another CB in the fifth, sixth or seventh roundThe formula is simple here: Draft, and then draft some more. If the Panthers weren't willing to re-sign Bradberry, then there's no reason they should be wasting money on any of the mostly stopgap veterans still on the market. A suming the Matt Rhule rebuild is more like a slow burn than a quick fix, the best thing the Panthers can do is hope for an Okudah slide and/or double dip at the position. Coming away with any of the top prospects (Kristian Fulton? Trevon Diggs?) would be a major plus.The Bears ended run in Windy City after two years this offseason, mostly to create cap space but also because an upgrade was in order. , meanwhile, is a solid starter, but if Chicago believes trotting out there as the No. 2 is a good -- no, pa sable -- plan for an entire season, well, it's misguided. Your best alternative bet: A 30-year-old . Best solutions:Sign ( )Chicago is, or should be, in win-now mode. The Bears defense is still a top-tier unit, more than capable NBA Atlanta Hawks Jeresy of dragging this team above .500 and, likely, into the playoffs. With on track to replace at some point, they're even better. So the best move for shoring up CB would be to do some serious cap maneuvering (or get a time machine and reverse the deal), then pony up for Ryan, who deserves a No. 1 job and has been steady for two contenders. Even if it's a short-term deal, it works.CB is not the i sue in Cleveland. Between , , and new addition Kevin Johnson, they'll be fine on the outside. It's safety that should keep them up at night. was solid but predictably banged up in 2019, hence his departure, and while is now aboard, as the other starter all but guarantees mixed results.Best solutions:Trade for ( ) or ( )Sign ( ) or (Panthers)Draft a S in the second, third or fourth roundThe best thing Cleveland could do for its 2020 secondary is reunite the ball-hawking Harris with Kevin Stefanski, his fellow Vikings alumnus. If the cost is too high, Joyner would be a sneakily intriguing CB/S hybrid for Gregg Williams, who drafted the ex-Ram years ago, and he could probably be had from a Raiders team still poking around for DB help. The free agent market isn't barren, either, as both Reid and Jefferson could play the Burnett role with more grit and/or athleticism, whereas a rookie would give them someone to develop in the wake of the 2019 move. By remaining firm in their decision not to enter a bidding war for , the Cowboys lost their clear-cut top cover man this offseason, and even after adding at safety, they have needs on both levels of the secondary. Reinforcements up Nathan Knight Jersey front should help them prioritize DB additions in the draft, as opposite at CB is not a great solution.Best solutions:Draft Xavier McKinney or another S in the second or third roundDraft a CB in the second or third roundSign Prince Amukamara (Bears) or ( )Ideally, Dallas would bolster depth at both CB and S before kicking off in 2020. Putting McKinney next to could give the 'Boys one of the top up-and-coming duos at the position, but that may require some maneuvering on draft day. Any of A.J. Terrell, Jaylon Johnson or Jeff Gladney would be reasonable targets on the first two days of the draft. Amukamara Clint Capela Jersey and Jones, meanwhile, would be smart, short-term fliers whether or not Dallas lands a starter from this year's rookie cla s. They each have their own medical concerns, but their "A" game, particularly that of Jones, would offer a big boost in the wake of Jones' departure.The Broncos didn't sit pat in the secondary even while watching head elsewhere. They tagged with authority, intent on keeping the rising talent in town. They also added A.J. Bouye for a mid-round pick, giving Vic Fangio two solid, experienced starters on the outside. Behind them, however, there are pretty much just question marks. A long-term answer is mi sing. Best solutions:Draft a CB in the first, second or third roundThey already went the veteran route by adding Bouye, and if they were dead serious about a sembling a secondary built to make a title run in 2020, they probably would've overpaid to keep H
