The likelihood of 4 pass rushers being gone by pick #8 is beyond slim.

Again, in the past 10 years, not a single time have more than 2 pass rushers been drafted in the top-8.

Someone will reach for an OT and DB. And Kevin White and Amari Cooper are almost certainly going top-8 too. At least one of them for sure.

I think there's no question what so ever that one of the top-4 pass rushers will still be there at 8.

Even if just 3 go before us, it'll destroy a 10-year trend, and I just don't see that happening.

That is probably true. But Fowler and Beasley will be gone. So, the Falcons will select from Ray and Gregory. And that will be 3 pass rushers in the first 8 which breaks the 10 historical mark.

If it were me under that circumstance, I would opt for Dupree. He may not be as day 1 ready as Ray/Gregory, but in 3 years he very well could be the cream of all of the pass rushers crop.
