Falcons select Auburn DL Marlon Davidson in second round

In the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons selected Auburn defensive lineman Marlon Davidson with pick No. 47:

After yesterday’s selection of Clemson cornerback A.J. Terrell in the first round, it’s clear that the Falcons are focused on building a defense that can help them get back to the Super Bowl.

Davidson is a perfect replacement for Adrian Clayborn, giving the team a bigger, more versatile defensive end than some of the speedier options Atlanta already has on the roster.

2019 Stats: 49 tackles (30 solo), 7.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 1 fumble recovery
