Vic Beasley NFL Draft 2015: Scouting Report, Grade for Falcons' 1st-Round Pick

STRENGTHS

Vic Beasley has been productive and consistent as a star defender for the Clemson Tigers. He brings exceptional speed (4.53 40-yard dash) and a hulked-up physique to the table after gaining 13 pounds in pre-combine training. Beasley is one of the smarter edge-rushers in the class, showing the ability to use his hands, head, feet, hips and shoulders to get past blockers. His dominant move is a pure speed rush, though, and he has the hips to turn the corner and keep his rush tight. He'll use his length well to close on the quarterback and flashes good hand use to either grab the quarterback or get a hand in his face if he can't secure the sack.
