7 LB prospects the Falcons could target in the draft

As a former fourth-round pick, linebacker De’Vondre Campbell is set to finally cash in on his outstanding production, just not likely in Atlanta.

2019 Stats: 101 tackles (49 solo), 5 sacks, 1 INT, 8 passes defended

Projection: Rounds 4-6

Analysis: Davis-Gaither is a wildly productive linebacker out of little Appalachian State. With good size, production and versatility to drop in coverage (8 passes defended in 2019), he’s a possible day-three pick with loads of untapped potential. Davis-Gaither would be able to contribute on special teams right away and Atlanta could ease him into the picture as a situational backup to Deion Jones and Foye Olukoun.
