One thing is for certain heading into next season. The Atlanta Falcons need to address their abysmal pass rush and they need to do it fast. The Falcons are going to face the toughest NFL schedule in 2016 which means they will face a lot of good offenses. If they cannot generate a pass rush, you can say goodbye to their playoff hopes.

Many expect the Falcons to draft a pass rusher in the first round of the 2016 NFL draft and why wouldn’t they. They have been at the bottom of the league in the sack category for quite some time now and that needs to change. The biggest need is something that the team will 100 percent address  so that’s a good thing.
