Marlon Davidson

Overall, an athletic and high motor interior defensive lineman. Played EDGE at Auburn, but will kick inside at 300+ pounds. Willing to chase down plays and make a high effort tackle. Has a good presence in the run game, but can get worked backwards by larger OL. Lacks true explosiveness off the LOS and is often second in the hands battle at the LOS. Active eyes in the run game and plays with good leverage. Lacks extensive pass rush moves or block shedding moves, but can improve with that development. Most likely a late day 2/early day 3 player.

Marlon Davidson selected No. 47 by Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons have selected defensive lineman Marlon Davidson with the No. 47 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

The Atlanta Falcons fortify their defensive line with a versatile defensive lineman capable of lining up on the edge or in the middle. A power rusher with good bend, Marlon Davidson will likely start his career at defensive tackle for the Falcons. He spent the majority of his time on the edge at Auburn, but showed more upside as an interior rusher, an area he will be able to create constant pressures from. He could be an option on the outside if Takkarist McKinley is not retained when his contract runs out after this season. Davidson is more of a depth DT piece in redraft IDP leagues, but could become an option during, and following the bye weeks.
