Their secondary may be the bigger issue to fix at this point but there’s no players on the board whom they should reach for. Instead the Falcons decide to further bolster their defensive line, this time in the middle with the physical specimen that is Raekwon Davis.

He’s big, strong, has long arms and is remarkably quick for his size. He’ll stuff the run as per anybody at his position but is particularly good at getting up the field after the quarterback.
