Bye Week Positional Review: Defensive Line

After lacking depth last season, the defensive line is filled with a plethora of quality defensive tackles. They are still lacking in the edge rusher department.

Besides a new coaching staff, the most impressive part about Atlanta's off-season was adding several new players to the defensive line. Adrian Clayborn and O'Brien Schofield have proven to be absolute bargains. The Clemson duo of Vic Beasley and Grady Jarrett could fulfill two long-term starting spots on the defensive line, even if they haven't been true standouts yet.

While the pass rush has been disappointing, there have been plenty of positive results from Atlanta's revamped defensive line.
