With the Falcons’ 2015 draft class on the way, I think it’s time to make a prediction as to who will be on the 53-man roster come Week 1. Ra’Shede Hageman has been training his tail off this offseason, and maybe he and Vic Beasley can turn the defensive line unit around. I think Brooks Reed and Justin Durant can turn the linebacker position into a strength for Atlanta. These two have veteran experience and Atlanta’s linebacking core has need that presence for the past couple years. I have Kevin White making the team and will be in the back-up role. He is one of the top UDFAs in the NFL, and he is a very underrated and talented corner. With that being said, here is my 53-man projection.
