Falcons Draft Grade

Written on April 30, 2008 – 6:25 am | by chanceblack |

475108.jpg  The Falcons had a opportunity to strike gold, Dorsey, McFadden, or Ryan.  The question was what direction should they go.  Lets see!

What the Falcons Needed: QB, TE, OL, DL

What the Falcons Drafted:

Round 1, Pick 3 (3): Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College

Round 1, Pick 21 (21) (From Redskins): Sam Baker, OT, Southern Cal

Round 2, Pick 6 (37): Curtis Lofton, LB, Oklahoma

Round 3, Pick 5 (68): Chevis Jackson, CB, LSU

Round 3, Pick 21 (84) (From Redskins): Harry Douglas, WR, Louisville

Round 3, Pick 35 (98) (Compensatory selection): Thomas DeCoud, FS, California

Round 5, Pick 3 (138): Robert James, OLB, Arizona State

Round 5, Pick 19 (154) (From Redskins): Kroy Biermann, OLB, Montana

Round 6, Pick 6 (172): Thomas Brown, RB, Georgia

Round 7, Pick 5 (212): Wilrey Fontenot, CB, Arizona

Round 7, Pick 25 (232) (From Steelers): Keith Zinger, TE, Duke

Arthur Blank is clearly sending a message to the fans of Atlanta.  ” The Mike Vick Era is done”.  By drafting Ryan,  will now be the face of the franchise.  I said it before, I understand the pick just not sure if I agree with it.  The Falcons moved back into the first round and got a OT with injury problems.  That was not a good choice. I mean you could have got Dustin Keller TE or maybe get a  Stronger defensive player.  Baker was waste of a first round pick.

FINAL GRADE: C-
