1. Miami Dolphins- Chris Long DE UVA

The Dolphins will look closely at Ellis and Dorsey here, but end the end Long will be the man taken. The defense is getting too old and youth is needed ASAP.

2. St. Louis Rams- Glenn Dorsey DT LSU

Combined with Carriker, the Rams will rebuild their front 4 stronger and younger.

3.* Atlanta Falcons- Darren McFadden HB Arkansas

A small part of me wants to believe Michael Vick will be back after next season. And if that’s the case, combining Vick with McFadden could be deadly. Either way Chris Redman played fine down the stretch and you can always take a QB in round 2 if you absoulutely need to develop one along with D Mac.

4.** Oakland Raiders- Sedrick Ellis DT USC

The best player at the Senior Bowl gets to fill right in for Warren Sapp. They wont even miss big 99.

5.** Kansas City Chiefs- Jake Long OT Michigan

They have to replace Willie Sheilds among others. We saw what this man did for Mike Hart, can he do the same for LJ?

6. New York Jets- Vernon Gholston DE OSU

The Jets are LUCKY they are still going to get a great player at 6. Gholston is just what the doctored ordered for this defense.

7. New England Patriots (from San Francisco 49ers)- Dan Connor LB PSU

Hear me out. The Pats do have a lot of free agent corners but those needs can be met later in the draft or in free agency. A coach like Belichick is always going to take the player that fits best in his system over anyone else and that is exactly what Connor is. A smart sure tackler who is two decades younger than Junior Seau.

8. Baltimore Ravens- Ryan Clady OT Boise State

This is where the draft gets interesting. The Ravens can go a lot of ways, but they need a OL in the worst way.

9. Cincinnati Bengals- Keith Rivers LB USC

The Bengals have had terrible picks at LB the last few years with AJ Nicholson and David Pollack. Get it right finally.

10. New Orleans Saints- Leodis McKlevin CB Troy

I can outrun Jason David. Not good.

11. Buffalo Bills- Malcom Kelly WR Oklahoma

The Youtube rapping sensation gets to collab with Money Lynch for his next track.

12. Denver Broncos- Chris Williams OT Vandy

They need to protect Cutler, why not take a guy who has experience doing JUST THAT?

13. Carolina Panthers- Kenny Phillips S The U

I think Matt Moore played well enough to justify passing on a QB. Kenny Phillips is the pick.

14. Chicago Bears- Matt Ryan QB BC

Matty Ice gets to take over for Grossman.

15. Detroit Lions- Mike Jenkins CB USF

Dre Bly is gone, so they need another player who can fulfil guarding the opposing team’s #1 WR.



The last 3 years for the Atlanta Falcons have been a roller coaster ride like no other in the NFL. After having the most exciting player in the game, Michael Vick, for so many years, the Falcons are looking to move forward with QB sensation Matt Ryan. Matt Ryan had one of the best rookie QB seasons ever in 08′, completing 61% of his pass attempts, over 3,400 yards passing, 21 touchdown passes, only 12 interceptions, with a QB rating of almost 90 and starting all 16 games – many veteran QB’s will take that season any day.

The Atlanta Falcons were the “darlings” of the NFL in 08′ with a record of 11-5, surprising most in their success a year after compiling a record of 4-12 in 07′. While the Falcons lost to the Arizona Cardinals in the Wild Card playoff game, the future is bright for the Falcons and Matt Ryan.

The Falcons acquired future Hall of Famer TE Tony Gonzalez from the Kansas City Chiefs for practically nothing. With a professional like Gonzalez on the Falcons – this can only increase Matt Ryan’s confidence and help him improve overall as a quarterback in the NFL.

The Falcons are in the NFC South – which in 08′ was the most competitive division in all of football. In 09′, the division isn’t as good with the Carolina Panthers struggling and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the process of rebuilding. The team the Falcons will have to be concerned with is the New Orleans Saints and their overwhelming offense that can strike at any time.

If Matt Ryan stays healthy and protected, distributes the ball efficiently and limits turnovers – the Falcons may see post season action for the second year in a row and contend in the NFC. No one thought the Arizona Cardinals would make the Super Bowl – 09′ can be the year for the Falcons.
