Breaking down the Atlanta Falcons' 2018 draft class.
My take: Defensive tackle appeared to be a more pressing need for the Falcons, but they went offense instead. Obviously they felt like Matt Ryan needed another weapon to complement Julio Jones as the Falcons struggled to make plays down the field last season. Ridley is a great route-runner with 4.43 speed, so he can create separation and put stress on defenses. He had 20 touchdowns (one rushing) in 44 career games with the Crimson Tide, so Ridley can get the ball in the end zone.
