Atlanta Falcons

Scouts Inc. on 2016 class

1 (17) Keanu Neal, S, Florida | Highlights

What he brings: Neal is an outstanding run defender with above average stopping power and the potential to quickly develop into a starter. While his timed top-end speed (4.63 in the 40-yard dash) is slightly below average, he covers more ground than safeties who run similar times. He has the ability to diagnose quickly, meaning he gets an early break on the ball. -- Steve Muench

How he fits: William Moore departed in free agency, leaving a void at strong safety that will be filled by Neal. He brings a physical edge that defensive coordinator Richard Smith will welcome and need to infuse within the defense. Smith can also get creative with Neal in his pressure packages, as Neal is an underrated blitzer. -- Kevin Weidl
