@Mr. Bitter Stewart is an athletic freak but production is going to be a big issue with him. 3 years and 1.5 sacks per year with a lot of talent on that defensive line and many 1v1 matchups. At least with Garrett, he had 10.5, 12.5, and 8.5. Stewart fits the mold of a lot of bust candidates and is a very risky pick despite amazing physical traits.
I stopped thinking about what the Falcons are doing, I don't even think they know at this point. I agree that Grant would be an amazing pick but with Morgan Fox and David Onyemata locked into the 3-4 DE spots. Ruke's only path to playing time is at nose. He was awful last year but Raheem can't bench him. They traded up in the 2nd to take him over Newton, Fiske, and Sweat and that would be even more egg on their face. Their EDGE guys are weak at best. The media pressure here in ATL to take a UGA player and EDGE is immense after the Cousins botch and questionable front office practices. I look for the Falcons to try to smooth over the fanbase with Williams or Walker. Remember the Falcons only have 3 picks in the first 7 rounds. They have to get starters with all 3 because their cap situation is awful and they still have to extend Bijan and Drake.
