falcons4ever79 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Atlanta: The Falcons concentrated on filling needs with Missouri OLB Sean Weatherspoon, possibly the most complete linebacker in the draft. He can cover and also rush the passer. To beef up the defensive line, Kentucky DT Corey Peters was taken with the 83rd overall pick and he should be a run stuffer. Alabama guard Mike Johnson is a physical run blocker and gives the Falcons some much needed depth at the position. Johnson started 41 consecutive games and played in a school-record 54 games. You have to remember, too, that the Falcons used a second-round pick on Tony Gonzalez, who paid huge dividends last season to Matt Ryan and the offense. Weatherspoon should be a starter. Guard Joe Hawley provided much-need depth. Oklahoma CB Dominique Franks knows how to play, but does he possess NFL speed and quickness? Grade: B I believe in the system we are creating in Atlanta. I think our draft was solid it was not the sexy picks that every one wanted but they all filled a need. Systems take players they need not the best player on the board and that's what the Falcons did if we would have taken dez off the board with the first pick we would have had to pay him first round reciever money.

sporkdevil Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Post draft grades are ridiculous. I think it was last year or the year before, one had every single draft between A- and B-It's basically a mix of perceived value in the pick and team needs. Couldn't be more subjective.
