Should the Falcons bring back DT Ahtyba Rubin?

The Falcons are, for the most part, finished making big moves in free agency. They’ve added some worthwhile contributors at several positions of need, but left one spot virtually untouched: defensive tackle. The reason for this appears to be that the team is interested in adding multiple DTs in the 2018 NFL Draft—with DT also the heavy favorite to be the Falcons’ first round pick. But even if Atlanta were to add two players to the rotation, the team would still have only 4 DTs on the roster.

The team is unlikely to roll with only the phenomenal Grady Jarrett, the versatile Jack Crawford, and whatever draft pick(s) they add, particularly with the loss of veteran DE/DT Adrian Clayborn.
