The offseason for that Atlanta Falcons was going fairly well. Adding a young player like Dante Fowler to the defensive line as well as the talents of Todd Gurley and Hayden Hurst seemed like the Falcons were poised to make some noise again.
Now, with the losses of Clayborn and Crawford, they have to address even more depth questions on the defensive line. Clayborn was a huge part of the Falcons defense resurgence last season. He may not have popped off the stat page, but he certainly did on tape.
Losing both Crawford and Clayborn means that the Falcons now have to replace more than 1,600 snaps on defense when you add in the loss of Vic Beasley.
