The NFL draft conversation is starting to heat up all around the league.
Whether it be about what quarterbacks will be traded for, or the amount of talent already in this quarterback class.
The Atlanta Falcons have been mentioned in a lot of those quarterback conversations as they currently sit with the 4th overall pick in this draft. Even though the Falcons could take a quarterback, it’s no secret that they are in dire need of pass rusher.
Don Bailey Jr., of the Hurricanes Radio Network, joined the Jon Chuckery show to give some insight on Gregory Rousseau, who opted out of this season due to COVID. “He just doesn’t have the on-field playing time” Bailey said.
Obviously, the Falcons would be remiss if they take a chance on a guy like Rousseau, who didn't play this past season, with the number 4 overall pick in the draft.
Rousseau isn't void of talent though, the last time he touched a field he recorded 15.5 sacks and 19.5 tackles for loss. Falcon’s general manager Terry Fontenot has some decisions to make because they have to get a guy in this draft that can touch the quarterback on a consistent basis.
