The Atlanta Falcons traded up, surrendering pick No. 79 in the third round, to snag the 35th pick in the draft and select Clemson defensive tackle Ruke Orhorhoro.
A surprise selection here—he was projected to go in the third round in most every mock draft and prospect ranking I saw—Orhorhoro is a tough, versatile interior defensive lineman who adds youth and talent to this Falcons group up front.

I wrote about him briefly after Mel Kiper mocked him to the Falcons in the third round a little while back, noting that he seemed to have room to grow at the next level and could be moved around.
