2015 NFL Draft picks: Falcons trade up, select Grady Jarrett in fifth round

The Falcons have traded up to get their hands on Clemson defensive tackle Grady Jarrett. He's a squat, relentless defender.

40 yard dash: 5.06 seconds
Bench press: 30 reps
Vertical jump: 31 inches
Broad jump: 112 inches
3 cone drill: 7.37 seconds

The team surrendered their fifth and sixth round picks this year to get this done, but it's tough to argue against the value. Jarrett was projected by some to go to the Falcons as early as the second or third rounds, and his height aside, it's not hard to understand why.

Jarrett has quick feet, terrific instincts and a phenomenal motor.
