There is no doubt Vic Beasley is the future of the Falcons’ defense. His rookie season showed flashes with four sacks, all while playing the season with a torn labrum. In 2016, Beasley has totaled 14.5 arcs and 7 forced fumbles to boot. While the pass rushing has improved for the Falcons, another complementary threat to team with Beasley, defensive end Adrian Clayborn, and a possible free agent addition, will give an emerging unit even more of a boost.

Look for the Falcons to use their 1st pick of the 2017 NFL Draft on a tag-team partner for Vic Beasley.
