The Atlanta Falcons have selected defensive tackle Grady Jarrett in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft after trading up with the Minnesota Vikings.
Atlanta gave up a sixth round pick as part of the deal, but they have found themselves a talented defensive tackle with Jarrett. Jarrett will be reunited with his Clemson teammate, Vic Beasley.
This is what Lance Zierlein of NFL.com had to say about Jarrett:
“Jarrett lacks ideal size for his position but he makes up for it with outstanding quickness, leverage and effort. Against the run, he has the foot quickness to shoot gaps and disrupt and he can stack single blocks at the point of attack.
