Troy Dye — Oregon
2019 Stats: 84 tackles (52 solo), 2.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 2 INTs, 4 passes defended
Projection: Rounds 2-4
Analysis: Dye isn’t quite the prospect that Murray is, but as a late-second or third-round pick, he has the kind of play-making ability that can help the Falcons’ pass coverage. His toughness won’t come into question and like Murray, Dye could give Atlanta another versatile linebacker capable of playing next to Jones. While he’s less experienced in an outside role, Dye has the size and coverage ability to match up with opposing tight ends.
