8 Vic Beasley OLB/DE, Clemson Vic Beasley is a fierce OLB/DE that can provide an instantaneous pass rush for the Atlanta Falcons. Beasley has shown high interest in playing for Dan Quinn and his defensive scheme, saying it would be a “dream come true” playing for his favorite team in his childhood. Some may consider this a reach pick, but drafting Beasley could pay huge dividends for the team. .

“He just said that he had guys like Bruce Irvin and other similar guys to me that could play that Leo position,” Beasley said, via ESPN.com. “That’s kind of where we connected right there.
