How the Falcons defensive line could and should shake out in 2019

The trenches were trouble for the Falcons in 2018, and in the case of the defensive line, that was a massive disappointment.

The Falcons only had one significant injury on the defensive line, a multi-week ailment for Grady Jarrett, and were otherwise healthy minus Derrick Shelby. For all that, this team got very little production out of their front four, putting additional strain on a depleted secondary and leading to major questions about Vic Beasley’s future with the team, among other issues.

The end result is a line that’s likely to undergo significant changes between now and September.
