2012 Possible Atlanta Falcons Draft Pick Profile: OT Dennis Kelly
With the biggest need in Atlanta being some competition at the left tackle spot, there needs to be more fresh blood brought in. Kelly is more of a late-round pick, though, and is more of a reserve at the NFL level.

Scouting Report
Strengths
He looks the part with a huge frame and is one of the largest tackles in the draft this year, plays through the whistle in the running game and is one of the more aggressive tackles out there. He tends to lock into his defender and keep them out of the play.
Weaknesses
He has a tendency to be holding a lot of the time and his issues are that he gets beat because of inconsistent and inadequate technique in the pass protection game. He also tends to play too tall and in the running game doesn't get great leverage.
Overview
Kelly is a captain from Purdue and has the talent to play either the left or right side in the NFL as a reserve. He's not a top-tier talent, though, and is looking like a sixth- to seventh-round pick. He's a three-year starter, though, and experience will be useful for him in the NFL.
How He Would Fit Into the Falcons' Plans
Atlanta would look at Kelly as a long-term backup for the offensive line. He has the versatility to play either side and could be a guy who is extremely valuable in six offensive linemen sets.
