Atlanta has two very good athletes that could play the OLB role.  Joplo Bartu is very fast, strong, and can even cover well.  Kroy Biermann can do the same, but he’s a little slower.  Atlanta could draft a guy like Anthony Barr or Trent Murphy.  Either one of them would make very good upgrades at the position while Kroy could fill in as a defensive end in 4-3 looks or a rotational player in a 3-4.
