How long before the 2011 season becomes an asterisk? I'm thinking if there's no agreement by June 30, the entire season will be basically an exhibition season.

At some point - it will become a partial season. I'm hopeful there will be football - but I'm no longer sure - and becoming less hopeful for a full season.

I know the lockout is still in place, but I don't expect it to last too much longer, at which point in time we can start signing some these UDFA.

You know the sad part. A lot of these guys will never get a chance now. Without training camp - and possibly no preseason - they are never going to be signed to a team or practice squad. It's sad for those guys.

I'm surprised Derrick Locke wasn't drafted. I'd love to bring him and Herzlich into camp.

there were 3 guys i was surprised who were not picked yet when the 7th round started and 2 of them were picked (allen and matthews) and the 3rd was locke. he is one heck of a player.. i would love to get him in here when we are allowed to.

Lots of media darlings on that list - I think it highlights the difference between professional evaluations and 'analyst' evaluations. Separates hype from reality.

Throw Dane Sanzenbacher into the WR column. Maybe not a Falcons need given the current state of things, but with Julio Jones on board, speed in the slot is no longer essential. Sanzenbacher does all the little things right, works hard, plays hard and would have great ST value. I think with Julio Jones in the mix, Sanzenbacher has all kinds of slot potential and more overall value than Harry Douglas.

Yep. This is exactly why we drafted Matt Bosher IMO.

I think Bosher was drafted because Koenen's contract has been a burr under TD's saddle ever since he was franchised. It made a lot more sense after the Falcons set a league record for special teams yardage allowed, but recently, Koenen's contribution and consistency have fallen way off.

Oh yeah I was just saying that is why we drafted him(instead of signing him as a UDFA) because you can't sign UDFA right now.

this is exactly why so many came out early last year, which made this such a weak draft class

I would love to snag Daren Evans. He got overshadowed due to his knee injury and Ryan Williams emerging a a very good back. I expect the falcons to be active in player trades once its possible. Snelling could be one of the casualties for a 2nd round pick. Evans ran mid 4.5 and exhibits the power to be more than effective in that role. If he checks out medically, i say go for it.
