Ndamukong Suh – DT

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have essentially cast off their defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and the Falcons should take advantage of that.

Suh is entering his 13th season in the league and while his All-Pro days are long gone, he can still help out a young Falcons defense. He could help teach some of the team’s young defensive linemen how to reach that All-Pro level.

Then you look at the depth at the interior defensive linemen position, and it is concerning, to say the least. Of course, you have the great Grady Jarrett but past that it is Marlon Davidson, Ta’Quon Graham, Anthony Rush, and a bunch of other players you have probably never heard of.

Even if this position stays healthy, it is still not fortified enough. Grady will once again have a lot placed on his shoulders and past that you would be relying on other young guys who have not done much in the NFL.

Suh could come in and play a significant amount of snaps, he still has something left in the tank. It would also take a lot of pressure off of Grady allowing him to play more freely for Dean Pees.
