2) Fill the hole at OLB

The Atlanta Falcons parted ways with staring OLB Justin Durant after just one season so they will also be in the market for a new starter at that position. The player that everyone wants the Falcons to fill that hole with is Bruce Irvin and rightfully so.

You have already heard the spiel on Irvin so I’m not going to repeat it again. Irvin is going to be the most sought after guy out of the Falcons’ camp and if they are able to nab him, that would be a great signing for the team. This is an important position and the team doesn’t need to waste a lot of time finding a new starter.
