"35. Atlanta Falcons (from ARI): Ruke Orhorhoro, DT, Clemson
In their 3-4 defense, the Falcons always can use size up front. Orhorhoro offers that — he’s 6-foot-4 and 294 pounds with 34-inch arms. He posted 24 tackles for loss, 12 sacks and nine passes defensed combined from 2021-23. He could be a good player long-term, but to make this selection this early in the second round — and trade away a third-round pick in the process — is a bit rich.
Grade: D-plus"

"74. Atlanta Falcons: Bralen Trice, Edge, Washington
A bit of an acquired taste, Trice’s lack of size (32 1/2-inch arms) and speed (4.72 40) certainly gave plenty of folks pause during the evaluation process. His work ethic, competitive drive and general violence at the point of attack, though, will make him a presence on an NFL roster. He might not be an every-down star, but he’s a high-floor player.
Grade: B-plus"
