2014 Atlanta Falcons Potential Draft Pick Profile: DE/OLB Marcus Smith

March 19, 2014   ·   Scott Carasik   ·   Jump to comments


Atlanta's pending use of more 3-4 sets, noted by the signings of Paul Soliai and Tyson Jackson, means they need a legitimate edge-rusher to fit in said sets. Louisville's Marcus Smith is the ideal fit for Mike Nolan's multiple scheme defense.
The Falcons obviously feel the same way, as they scheduled a visit with the talented defensive player, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's D. Orlando Ledbetter. Smith's experience in multiple fronts is definitely why the Falcons are showing interest in him.
