Falcons improve interior line by selecting Deadrin Senat

The Atlanta Falcons have selected defensive tackle Deadrin Senat out of South Florida in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft, 90th overall.

Senat is expected to feature at nose tackle for the Falcons, a position where they're relatively loaded with defensive tackle Grady Jarrett growing into a bonafide star.

Joining the Falcons, Senat will have likely to compete for reps against Jack Crawford
