With the 15th pick, the Atlanta Falcons select Mykell Williams, DE, Georgia @gonzo1105 is on the clock.
The Falcons were one of the least effective teams rushing the passer last year and hope to give their front 4 a big boost with this draft pick.
Williams is a powerful pass rusher with the length to get into blockers and the strength to push them aside. His hands are active, and he mixes in effective inside moves. He frequently rushes between the tackles where his length, active hands and quickness challenges interior offensive linemen. Williams sets the edge defending the run and makes quick work of tight ends. He has room on his frame to bulk up, but he is strong and fights to anchor when getting double-teamed. He showed great toughness playing most of the 2024 season with an ankle injury that hobbled him on tape and forced him to miss two games.
