The Falcons took Tony "the Tiger" Torres at the 1.31 pick. He was the 4th DE drafted in the round, 2 picks after the Raiders grabbed "Crazy" Joe Davola. Cant remember if Davola was on my list, I would think so and was not happy to see him picked that close. DE was my #1 team need from my roster review. Torres busted (-6) in camp, and his vol was only 36, so that was a shock. He is both LDE2 & RDE2, he got 3 sacks & 24 hurries on 465 plays. Not great, but not too bad overall and his key atts are 84 speed, 61 strength, and 74 pass rush. Expect that he will be a starter in 3 or 4 seasons as either Costa or Lyles near retirement or will continue to back up both DE positions if the Falcons pick or acquire another high rank DE.
