Florida Gators. Dante Fowler Jr.. 1. player. 44. One position of need for the Atlanta Falcons is at defensive end. They are in desperate need of some help in the pass rushing and all-around defensive playmaking. That is an area that Fowler can help them in, and he would be an ideal pick for them. <p>Fowler ended up recording 60 tackles, 8.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles during the 2014 season. He decided to leave Florida for the NFL Draft, and is going to be receiving a big payday.</p> <p>Atlanta would be able to immediately plug him into their lineup, and he would likely be a difference maker for them. He is the type of athletic pass rusher that could help take the Falcons defense to the next level, and Dan Quin is the type of head coach that could help him grow quickly. It would be a very smart pick for the Falcons.</p> <p>There are plenty of other pass rushing threats in the 2015 draft, but the Falcons would be wise to take Fowler due to his upside and potential for the future.</p>.
