8. player. 44. <p>Oy. Where to start here? The Falcons spent one year with a 3-4 hybrid defense and now will be shifting back to a 4-3 with Cover 3 aspects. So yeah, defense is critical. And of course, as we saw last year, offensive line is an issue as well. The question is, can you add a tackle here who you intend to put on the right side, since Jake Matthews is on the left.</p> <p>Between the somewhat greater issues on defense and the fact that it is too early to grab a right tackle, I’m going defense. Beasley is a great pass-rusher who is tremendously disruptive. He can fit in either the 4-3 or 3-4, and could play defensive end as well.</p>. DE/OLB. Clemson. Vic Beasley
