Here is one option they may explore. EDTShareTweetShareShareFalcons prospect scouting report: DL Rashan Gary, Michigan Brad Mills-USA TODAY SportsThe draft approach for the Atlanta Falcons is showing signs of clarity after the opening of free agency. Here is one of the better prospect in the entire draft that can help improve their defensive line. Thanks to a fairly busy initial period of 2019 free agency in which they addressed the offensive side of the ball, it became quite lucid that the Falcons will focus on the defense in this year’s draft. I think at this point, we can expect the Falcons to some early additions on the defensive front. I recently constructed a report on an elite prospect that can be a great inclusion to the Falcons defense. Today, I will turn the attention to another top talent that can open things up for the Falcons on defense. Rashan Gary Scouting Report Height: 6’4 Weight: 277 lbs Career stats: 119 tackles, 23 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacksGames watched: 2017 vs. Florida, 2017 vs. Wisconsin, 2017 vs. Penn State, 2018 vs. Ohio State, 2018 vs. Notre Dame, 2018 vs. Rutgers Strengths: Athleticism and plenty of it. The reason why many direct their attention to his athleticism is mainly due to how his excellent NFL size blends well with it. At the NFL Combine this year, Gary surprised some by weighing in at 277 pounds, which was roughly 10-15 pounds lighter than his supposed playing weight while at Michigan. Gary has an explosive first step as a lineman and it showed in his 7.26 three-cone drill and during his 4.58 40-yard dash and 1.63 10-yard split on his 40-time at the Combine. As a rusher at times with Michigan, Gary showed the ability to effectively bull rush opponents thanks to his natural strength and 34 inch arms. He looked more fluid in his change-of-direction at the Combine than he did on tape and that can be chalked up to the notable weight loss and the existing circumstance of performing drills in shirts and shorts. When engaging with blockers http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-allen-robinson-jersey , Gary shows the ability to disengage notably and not give up ground due having proper leverage. Gary is pretty refined as a tackler and wrapping up has been a consistent calling card of his. Gary displays contagious effort against plays going away from him and when he chases down plays on the backside. Versatility is also a notch on Gary’s belt as he played at the 3-Tech, 5-Tech, and 9-Tech spots on the defensive line throughout his entire career. Weaknesses: For those who rely considerably on production/numbers, Gary underwhelms a bit in that department. In three seasons (34 games), Gary only produced 9.5 sacks. Granted, that partially is due to his insertion in multiple spots along the defensive line, but it is still concerning that his freakish ability only produced little results. As a pass rusher around the edge, Gary shows little ability to properly bend and shows plenty of stiffness in his hips. All that boils down to overall technique, which is a question mark for him as an edge rusher at the moment. Gary is able to set the edge in run defense thanks to his natural power but he must fix coming out of his stance with his pad level too high at times. Gary is consistently viewed as a prospect that showed elite flashes but not quite enough. Conclusion: Your classic boom or bust prospect. No need to beat around the bush with my evaluation on him. Gary entered college football prior to the 2016 season as the #1 overall player out of high school. When Gary was on top of his game, he was one of the best defenders in all of college football. But that’s where it gets really interesting when discussing Gary and his talent level. In the Michigan defensive scheme, Gary was placed just about everywhere on the defensive line, which resulted in the prospect not having a true position on the line in the eyes of scouts and coaches. After careful observation, I believe Gary is best with a few more pounds on his frame and inside as a 3-Technique defensive tackle. However, that does not mean that if the Falcons were to select him, they would not be able to polish him well enough to be an athletic strong-side defensive end who can rush on the interior on passing downs. But right now, he has less of a learning curve if placed on the interior than he would on the edge. Selecting Gary would be a roll of the dice with hopes that those flashes he showed at Michigan would conclude in the Falcons having themselves a future All-Pro. With Gary Womens Chase Daniel Jersey , there is plenty of intrigue, plenty of upside, and plenty of questions to be answered. Von Miller might be the only one at Denver Broncos headquarters lamenting Khalil Mack's startling trade from the Oakland Raiders to the Chicago Bears."I mean, honestly, I was shocked," Miller said. "I always felt like Khalil and Aaron Donald were untradeable guys. J.J. Watt, I thought guys like that were untradeable. Then they traded him. A guy like Khalil, he only comes around once every lifetime. You want to keep guys like that."The Broncos' star linebacker said it's "going to be a little weird" Sunday not seeing his friend, whom he's trained with the last two summers, when the Raiders (0-1) visit Denver (1-0), where Mack once collected five sacks in a single half."He's talented," Broncos QB Case Keenum said, "but I'm pretty sure they're going to play 11 guys. They're not just going to put 10 out there without him."Raiders new/old coach Jon Gruden said he's been asked aplenty about the trade that sent shockwaves through the NFL and smiles across locker rooms across the AFC West."And rightfully so," Gruden said. "He's a great guy. He's a great player. It's unfortunate we don't have him. But we feel we did the right thing for this football team, for the future of the Raiders and for this building process."I know we've got to prove it. But so does he."Mack began doing just that Sunday night at Green Bay , fresh off signing a six-year Bennie Fowler III Jersey , $141 million contract, $26.5 million more than Miller got in 2016 in the shadows of his Super Bowl 50 MVP performance.Hours after Miller wrecked Seattle's game plan by sacking Russell Wilson three times and snaring the ball out of power back Chris Carson's arms for a forced fumble and fumble recovery, Mack burst into the NFC North conversation with a pick-6 and a strip sack of backup QB DeShone Kizer in which he, too, snatched the ball from his opponent.Whereas Miller's showing led to a 27-24 Denver victory, Mack's dominant debut was rendered a footnote when Aaron Rodgers returned from a knee injury at halftime to lead the Packers back from a 20-point deficit for a 24-23 win.One night later, the Raiders lost 33-13 to the Rams, barely touching quarterback Jared Goff just over a week after trading their star pass rusher to the Bears for a package that included two first-round picks. Bruce Irvin had the only sack when Goff held the ball too long.Mack is still on the Raiders' minds.Quarterback Derek Carr said he misses his friendship more than his play on the field."We still text, and we still talk all the time, but not seeing him every day is weird," Carr said. "I think that was the hardest part."Other subplots as the Broncos seek their sixth straight 2-0 start:KING STINGBroncos punter Marquette King didn't want to talk about Gruden this week, but he made it clear he had hard feelings over his release from the Raiders this spring.He said he never had a chance to speak with Oakland's coach before getting jettisoned."I just saw him on car commercials and stuff," King said. "I get to see him two times a year."And that was certainly a factor in King's decision to come to Denver."I just wanted to find the best place that I thought I would fit," King said. "I think there is somewhat of a revenge factor in there, too."BRYANT BACKBroncos coach Vance Joseph said Martavis Bryant's re-signing with Oakland only adds to Denver's already stiff challenge Sunday."Absolutely. He's a guy that's a vertical threat. I faced him in Cincinnati when he was in Pittsburgh for six games. He caught a 98-yard touchdown on my secondary, so I won't ever forget that http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-taylor-gabriel-jersey ," Joseph said.PRESSURE POINTAfter trading Mack, there were questions about how the Raiders would generate a pass rush. The results weren't good in the opener as Oakland had one sack and four quarterback pressures against the Rams.The Raiders had more pressures in every game last year with Mack leading the defense.Gruden said playing better defense on first and second down will give Bruce Irvin and Arden Key more chances to get to the QB on third down."You have to get them on third-and-long when you can cut loose your blitzes and some of your great rushers," he said.HOUSE OF HORRORSGruden has had little success in Denver in his career, losing all five trips to the Mile High City. Gruden lost every year with Oakland from 1998-2001, and again with Tampa Bay in his final year as a coach there in 2008.In all, Gruden's teams are 1-9 against the Broncos, with the one win coming in Oakland in 2001. The Raiders won 38-28 on Nov. 5, 2001, behind three TD passes by Rich Gannon.He has fond memories of that lone victory over Denver."That was the greatest win of my career as the Raiders coach, beating the Broncos," Gruden said, "because I knew how far we'd come in just a few years."
