I'm going with Ryan...not sure they won't go D line...but somehow I think it's Ryan.

 

With Jake Long @ #1 and Chris Long @ #2. Who goes #3?

If the GM and coaches win out in the draft room, Glenn Dorsey will be the #3 pick in the draft. The Falcons will get a game changing defensive tackle who really has the upside of a guy like Tommie Harris (and we all know the impact a healthy Tommie Harris has on the game).

 

However, the xfactor in this is the Falcons owner who could opt to go with the sexier choice in Matt Ryan. Ryan is a great guy with good QB skills (not really worthy of being a #3 pick, but you could do far worse). More importantly he would help the Falcons get away fro Michael Vick and would be a great person to begin the rebiulding process of the Falcons (especially from a PR state). Basically put, Ryan is the anti-vick.

Halfway to pick 4. Please vote if you haven't yet.

Dorsey. They'll get Flacco with their 2nd rounder.

3 more for Dorsey or 7 overall and we can move on to pick #4.

Dorsey by far... now the rumor on the street is that the Rams are looking to trade down with the Jets because they want Ryan. If the Rams cannot trade down, they are said to be focusing their attention on Dorsey.

 

These rumors change everyday...

"With the 3rd overall pick, the Atlanta Falcons select Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU"

 

This was a tough decision for Atlanta between Dorsey and Ryan, but management felt that Dorsey was too good to pass up. Next up, Oakland.

I think Dorsey is the better pick but in the end putting the Vick saga behind them by selecting Ryan wins out.
