Defensive tackle might not stand out as an obvious need for the Atlanta Falcons, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t add a talent like Sheldon Rankins if available.
The likely starters in the interior positions currently are Jonathan Babineaux and free agent acquisition Derrick Shelby, with second-year Grady Jarrett and Ra’Shede Hageman close behind.
Coincidentally, Rankins has drawn some comparisons to Jarrett. He is considered to be undersized for the position at 6-foot-1, 299 pounds, but he is a powerful player who could help the Atlanta defense against both the run and pass.
