The Falcons finally addressed arguably their biggest draft need. I had the Falcons dipping into defensive tackle in the first and third rounds and picking up a cornerback in the second, and while they threw us a curve with Calvin Ridley in the first, they’ve otherwise followed that blueprint by taking Isaiah Oliver and then Deadrin Senat.
Senat isn’t necessarily the defensive tackle I expected Atlanta to land, but he’s a good one. Compact and powerful, with the “violent hands” that the Falcons once talked up for the likes of Malliciah Goodman, Senat is a handful for interior linemen and can fight through to impact run plays.
