The promising Beasley was the eighth overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, and arguably the best pure pass rusher in the entire class. He joins a Falcons team that hasn't had a legitimate double digit sack threat since John Abraham was so rudely pushed out, and he should immediately step into a starting role.
