It may have taken 75 picks, but the Atlanta Falcons finally drafted an edge rusher in the third round of the 2023 NFL draft. The team selected Ohio State’s Zach Harrison with its final pick on Day 2.
While some fans were frustrated to see Atlanta wait until the third round to address the defense, most were happy with the pick. Harrison fits what defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen typically looks for in edge rushers and he should provide some rotational value as a rookie.
