Atlanta Falcons 2017 Roster Review: Defensive Tackles

Alright, folks, the Atlanta Falcons roster review train continues to glide down the tracks, and our next stop is defensive tackle.

Defensive tackle was essentially the Grady Jarrett and Dontari Poe Show all season, with various contributors salting in things here and there to help. Half of that show might be gone by March, creating a new path forward for the Falcons behind Jarrett, the de-facto DT1 on the roster, and one of the best overall players on the team.

Let’s look at who we’re working with, shall we?

Current players on roster: DT Grady Jarrett, DT Jack Crawford, DT Tani Tupou (reserve contract), DT Joey Ivie (reserve contract)

Pending free agents: DT Dontari Poe, DT Ahtyba Rubin, DT/DE Courtney Upshaw

Production

Grady Jarrett – 4 sacks, 55 tackles

Dontari Poe – 2.
