Report: Falcons still open to trade up for DL Ed Oliver

The Falcons have bulked up at defensive tackle to the extent that they arguably have no immediate need at the position. Grady Jarrett is one of the best young DTs in the NFL and the team has run-stopping and pass rushing options between the likes of Tyeler Davison, Jack Crawford, Deadrin Senat and Ra’Shede Hageman, and their rotation is already better on paper than it was a year ago. That said, they’d blow up some of that depth in a heartbeat to add Ed Oliver, and it appears we can’t dismiss that possibility just yet.
