Not to the John Ross level, but underwhelming nonetheless.
He'll definitely provide better depth, but he's not going to be a Pro-Bowler.
Reggie Nelson was traded for by the Jags for a 7th round pick (I believe) and he became a Pro Bowler. He was asked to play differently than he was here and it wasn't to his strengths. I don't know enough about the Falcon's defense to know what he did there, but PFF had him between 61 and 69 (this year). I am hoping he is the 3-4 OLB with speed we have been looking for but didn't have.
And I know he ins't likely to become a Pro Bowler, but if he shines the rest of the season as a great fit for this defense, you just saved a potentially very high draft pick for another position like OT, G, or DT.
