de/olb. Missouri. shane ray. 8. player. 44. This one is pretty simple. The Atlanta Falcons ignored their pass rushing needs in last year’s draft, so they once again struggled to get after opposing quarterbacks. This time around, they will not be able to ignore the position if they want to improve. Adding a player like Ray would fill the immediate need.
