Seems aight. Tough to pass on Floyd and Werner though.

I like the pick. He has good bloodlines as the younger brother of Marcus and Isaiah Trufant, both NFL DB's. I think he'll handle himself well in the lifestyle of the pros.

CB was our biggest need and we addressed it. I'm going to trust Dimitroff and co. that if he was their guy on their board, I'm glad they went out and got him.

Here's the best scouting clip I could find on him:

First Round: CB Desmond Trufant
Second Round: CB Robert Alford
Fourth Round: DE Malliciah Goodman
Fourth Round Compensatory: TE Levine Toilolo
Fifth Round: DE Stansly Maponga
Seventh Round Compensatory: S Kemal Ishmael
Seventh Round Compensatory: S Zeke Motta
Seventh Round Compensatory: QB Sean Renfree

Overall a solid draft class. I like how we addressed positions of need and get good, young depth on defense.

I'm glad we drafted a QB. Needed to add some depth there.

Hope these CB's work out. Alford is one fast dude, running a sub 4.4 40.

I wouldnt have minded a OL thrown in there. A little thin on the lines and I'm worried Konz isnt big enough for center in the NFL.

But overall a decent draft. Trufant will start right away and maybe Alford too on kick returns. Added depth to the secondary with Alford and the 2 safety picks..

Levine Toilolo is huge. 6'8" and will be used mainly for blocking. He caught 10 TDs in college but probably won't be the weapon Tony GOATzalez is.

WTF are we going to do at OT? Lamar Holmes starting and no depth (2 rookies) as it stands right now...

Any chance we bring Clabo back?

Yes, it's possible if he's still unsigned mid-season and the OL is a disaster. Clabo visited Miami but so did like 5 other tackles. They're thin in the line also. Detroit and Dallas are looking for tackles and may interview him too. Cowboys want to cut Doug Free, who ain't, to save 7 million.

Looks like the Falcons are going to try to sign Richard Seymour once Clabo's salary comes off the books June 1st. That would be a nice pickup.

Ryan got a pretty sweet 5yr contract. Could be worth 100 million+ by the end of it.

In regard to a tr

I gotta say I went more for the first time experience rather than as a hardcore fan. So I didn't focus too much on players as opposed to absorbing the environment.

Renfree and Davis looked way better at qb than doege. That's about my only player analysis.

They work hard and fast. Its very organized and structured. You can tell things are designed to keep moving and scheduled tightly. Some laughs hollers and s- talking but very professional.

Tons of people there. I advise bringing a to well And chair. Sit on top under the shades. Also aim for arriving for 2nd half of practice everyone shows up for first part band leaves at midpoint

No doubt. That tr was good. Don't expect a in-depth analysis. Had fun? Then a good trip!

HOF game last night (between innings of course) got a the football itch going.

I think Falcons have a better team this season, especially with Jackson and the improved defense. Biggest question is the O-line. Hopefully them young guys can perform.

If matt Ryan goes down, our backup qb situation is 2 rookies and a 2nd year

Nightmare.

They do still have a little cap room for some backup vet o-linemen. Don't know if that's the plan.

The A team looked good on off. and def., second half was ugly. But they were 1-3 in the preseason last year so no biggie.

Very excited about Steven Jackson, he looks like he's still got it. He's probably good for 250 carries easy.

Yes. I forget he catches a lot for a RB. Seems like the Falcons never had one to catch 50+.

*Jamal Anderson had 49 in 1996 and 42 in 2000.
