A+. This is the perfect fit for the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons needed to find a pass rusher, and they have taken arguably the best pure pass rusher of the entire draft class. Beasley is an explosive athlete and he will immediately upgrade the defense. He can help the team from day one, and new head coach Dan Quinn will be delighted with the addition. A lot of work needs to be done, but this is the perfect start for the Falcons as they aim to rebuild the unit. Beasley also revealed that he was a Falcons fan growing up, and this was a dream move for him. Overall, this was almost the perfect fit for Atlanta coming into the draft, and they have got their man without needing to strike a trade. A+ for Thomas Dimitroff here.. OLB. Clemson. VIC BEASLEY
