In regards to drafting a OLB/ Pass Rusher

In case you haven't noticed the Titans have the 2nd overall pick. I think they're going to try and patch up any holes they have so they don't have to draft there again. Plus Orakpos like 27 yrs old

Hell yes Atlanta would take him.

Right now Beasley looks the part of KJ Wright, something the Falcons defense does NOT have...

Maybe but both have been signed to pretty good deals.
Id say its easier to get another passrusher late in the draft or next year than find a really good DE for a 3-4 scheme like Williams

I would rather draft an ILB'er. OLB'er is not one of my top priorities. DT, G and CB are a must have more so than Any OLB'er.jmho

With as many picks as we have in the early rounds, we can draft ILB and OLB...

There are a few players I wouldn't mind trading up for.
Vic Beasley
Leonard Williams
Dante Fowler

But I'd prefer to sit and take BPA, which will almost certainly be at a position of need.
