The current situation at edge rusher for the Atlanta Falcons is dire.
The Atlanta Falcons are in a bad spot when it comes to edge rushers. Currently, they have Dante Fowler, Brandon Copeland, and Barkevious Mingo penciled in as true edge rushers. Those three players combined for five and a half sacks in 2020.
However, there are still players like Jacob Tuioti-Mariner, John Cominsky, and possibly Marlon Davidson who potentially could line up as outside rushers in a 3-4 defense, but they primarily should be lining up with their hand in the dirt.
