Again, did Khalil Mack make an impact his rookie season? No, aside from tackles, he didn't even do as much as Beasley did.
But look what Mack became in his 2nd season. He lead the league in sacks and is the first player to ever make all-pro at 2 positions, DE and OLB.
By your dumb logic, you guys would be sitting here whining about Mack not being worth the 5th pick because his 4 sacks his rookie year means he's not impactful enough.

Aside from tackles, cause you know that's kinda the whole point of defense is getting the guy on the ground. It's not like Mack was 35/4 vs Beasley's 26/4. No it was 76 to 26 Mack had 50 more tackles then him.It shows Mack was around the ball a lot more as a rookie. I thought Vic was a 1 trick pony before the draft a speed rusher and he really didn't show improvement in the area of diversifying that this season.

You consistently compare Beasley to Mack as the standard. So, you are predicting Mack second year numbers for second year Beasley? If not quit comparing them as it is Mack's second year improvement on which your argument rests.
Also, Freeman was probably the surprise player of the year, so any discounting of Gurley has absolutely nothing to do with Freeman.
Would I have taken Gurley over Beasley? Not on your life. Did I like the pick? Yep. Does Beasley have a tough row to hoe playing for the Falcons and the only semi-legit pass rusher on the whole damn team? You bet. Did he do OK? Yeah. Did he do great? No. Will be blossom ala Mack next year? We'll see. If I were a betting man, and I am, I'll take the under on that one, but I hope like hell I am wrong. To get there the Falcons need at least one other pass rusher, and if it were me I would spend this year's 1 on that if there in one left at 17 which I doubt. Dimitroff is not good at much and he certainly is not good at picking up much at all outside of the top ten.
