November 8, 2015; Santa Clara, CA, USA; Atlanta Falcons defensive end Vic Beasley (44) runs during the second quarter against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi

Vic Beasley, EDGE, Falcons (1st round, 8th overall)

Vic Beasley only has two sacks so far this season, but his impact has been far greater than just numbers on a stat sheet. The edge rusher out of Clemson has provided Dan Quinn’s defense with a major jolt of speed off the edge, and a constant disruption of the opponents’ passing game.

Not only is Beasley a future top flight NFL pass rusher, he’s also pretty decent in coverage when he needs to be. Check out this play here:
