One big question for the Falcons defensive tackle position: Who steps up?

Grady Jarrett is, if not a top 10 defensive tackle in the NFL, at least top 20. He’s underrated against the run and has proven to be a lethal pass rusher at times, most memorably against Tom Brady in a Super Bowl I otherwise have no memory of. The Falcons will trot him out for the majority of their snaps at defensive tackle this year and will benefit from doing so.

So predictably, the big question at the position has little to do with Jarrett, and everything to do with the men the team has surrounded him with.
