The Atlanta Falcons were one of the more disappointing teams in football this season, as they just could never get to playing consistent football. They have the horses on both sides of the ball to be a formidable  team in the NFC playoff picture, but for some reason,  they ended up on the outside looking in at the playoffs in 2018.

Fast forward to next season, and there is going to be a lot of change, as most of the coaching staff, outside of head coach Dan Quinn was fired. Quinn will be looking to get this team back on track, as it was not long ago that they were blowing the biggest lead in Super Bowl history to the New England Patriots.

Atlanta had to deal with the injury to Devonta Freeman this season, and that really hurt what they like to  try to do on offense. On defense, they struggled to get stops all season long, and it would be wise for them to bring in one of the more elite defensive linemen this draft class has to offer next April.

That man is Rashan Gary, who just happens to be one of the more versatile linemen in this draft class as well. Gary can clog the middle, get the edge, and is one of the more punishing tacklers in the Big Ten. He has already declared himself eligible for the draft, and should hear his name pretty early in April.
