1. (24) Peria Jerry, DT
The Atlanta Falcons couldn’t be happier when they saw DT Peria Jerry slide to them in the first round. He should start from Day #1 on the inside for the Falcons. He has a never stopping motor as he fights through the double team and gets into the opposing backfield often. He is a tad on the small side at 6’1″, 290 pounds but he’s very fast for his size running a 4.9 40. Jerry played 4 seasons at Mississippi in which he played in 38 games (29 starts) and he made 132 tackles, 33 tackles for a loss, has 11.5 sacks, batted down 3 balls, forced 2 fumbles and he recovered 2 fumbles. This was a outstanding pick for the Falcons.
