The four selections from the NFL.com panel are pretty similar. In fact, Clemson’s Vic Beasley features three times.

Lance Zierlein — OLB Vic Beasley, Clemson

Daniel Jeremiah — DE Shane Ray, Missouri

Charles Davis — OLB Vic Beasley, Clemson

Charley Casserly — OLB Vic Beasley, Clemson

Beasley would be a fantastic pick for the Falcons. After recording 33 sacks over the past three seasons, Beasley became the all-time sack leader in Clemson.

He is an explosive athlete who bursts off the snap and would be able to start from day one in Atlanta.

For a team so desperately needing to enhance their pass rush, Beasley would be the perfect fit if he falls to No. 8.

Jeremiah has the Falcons taking former Missouri defensive end Shane Ray. Ray, too, is considered to be one of the premier pass rushers in this year’s draft, although there are some concerns with his health.

If he gets the all clear health-wise, he would be worthy of the pick if Beasley and Dante Fowler Jr. aren’t there for Atlanta.
