The Falcons can do a lot of things with the eighth overall pick, I’ll be doing my next mock following this weekend’s combine, but there’s a really trendy name that should have a big week in Indy — Tyree Wilson of Texas Tech:

I like Wilson’s build, especially his wingspan. He can play inside out and really get after the quarterback from all over the field. Here’s what Sikkema had to say:

8. ATLANTA FALCONS: EDGE TYREE WILSON, TEXAS TECH

The Falcons have to address their lack of pass rush this offseason. They brought in Arnold Ebiketie and DeAngelo Malone last year but need to add a bigger body to their edge defender group. And such players don’t get much bigger than the 6-foot-6, 275-pound Wilson.

PFF Draft Guide Bottom Line: No edge prospect manhandled offensive tackles more than Wilson last year. That’s a defensive lineman who can play for any scheme.

With their second round pick, Sikkema had the Falcons taking S Antonio Johnson out of Texas A&M. Johnson is a great athlete and would really help bolster Atlanta’s secondary, especially if they pick up a big name like Jessie Bates in free agency.
