After throwing out some potential options for Atlanta in rounds one and two, let’s take a deeper look at three prospects the team could target in the third round.

2019 Stats: 28 tackles (18 solo), 6 sacks, 1 fumble recovery

Analysis: While a bit of a one-year wonder, Ohio State’s DaVon Hamilton showed outstanding interior pass-rush ability in 2019. The Falcons have Grady Jarrett and Tyeler Davison locked up, but adding the 6-4, 310-pound behemoth could be a great move for both the present and future.

Hamilton, at worst, would be a good situational pass-rusher that could rotate in. At best, he could eventually start inside next to Jarrett. The track record of success is short, but his stellar 2019 season warrants a third-round selection.
