2017 NFL Draft: KC Kingdom Mock Draft
Atlanta Falcons – Jesse Holt
44. The Falcons need to add another sack threat with only Vic Beasley Jr. getting more than 5 sacks last season (15.5). Charlton has good size overall and has enough speed to be a credible threat against the pass and the run. However, the Michigan product still needs additional seasoning to perform at a high level.. Defensive End. Michigan. Taco Charlton. 31. player
Charlton was always stepping his game up year after year during his time at Michigan. His senior season saw him earn All-Big Ten honors as well as racking up nine and a half sacks in action. All of this information courtesy of Charlton’s draft profile at NFL.com.
“Really, really talented player. You won’t always see it on every play so that is going to be a coach’s job to get that out of him. Rushers with his size and athleticism are hard to find and they usually go very early in the draft.” — AFC executive
Staff Reaction:
It seems like we do this every year with the Falcons. Haven’t they needed a pass rusher for like the last 20 years? Taco Charlton is a good one at least, and hopefully (for Atlanta’s sake) he can make a difference. ~ Ben Almquist
