Mashup of the Falcons and Braves roster for MLB Opening Day
Defensive line:
Position | Name | Size | Origin |
|---|---|---|---|
DE | Lorenzo Carter | 6'5", 252 lbs | Falcons |
DT | Grady Jarrett | 6'0", 305 lbs | Falcons |
DT | David Onyemata | 6'3", 300 lbs | Falcons |
DE | Arnold Ebiketie | 6'3", 256 lbs | Falcons |
Again, what was I supposed to do? The only player who could have potentially found a fit on the defensive line would have been Joe Jimenez but I am not including players out of the bullpen.
Nothing really notable here. The Falcons brought back Lorenzo Carter and brought in David Onyemata. Arnold Ebiketie earns a starting job and Grady Jarrett continues to go about his business.
Inside linebacker:
Position | Name | Size | Origin |
|---|---|---|---|
ILB1 | Austin Riley | 6'3", 240 lbs | Braves (3B) |
ILB2 | Troy Anderson | 6'4", 235 lbs | Falcons |
ILB3 | Mykal Walker | 6'3", 230 lbs | Falcons |
Austin Riley has the size to play the linebacker position. I would love to see him line up and make some tackles. He might be a little slow for today's NFL but there is still value in having a run-stopping linebacker.
