I just didn't see a QB in the top 10 and was thinking the Falcons would upgrade the DL. Maybe Ryan is the right guy I am not an expert but it seemed like a PR reach more than the best available guy.

That said I do have more faith in the new GM and coaching staff than at any time I can remember.

That's my gut feeling too, JRL. They easily could've gotten a QB at the beginning of the second round.

Makes sense to me too. Just get the feeling that this is the guy Petrino wanted and there was no way he was gonna pass him up.

I'm sure you mean the guy Mike Smith wanted, right Dusty? That Petrino guy ain't too popular in Atlanta these days, I'm sure.

Re: Falcons draft QB Matt Ryan

This may not be a popular pick, but I thnk they know what they are doing. How many times has the popular pick been a bust. I remember the Browns took Courtney Brown. He was a complete bust. Just a few years ago everybody ridiculed the Texans for not taking Bush. Now they look like geniuses for taking the player they thought was the best.

Right Lefty, Mike Smith...that Bobby Petrino did leave an impression though from last year huh? I don't even live in Altanta and I can't get the guy out of my NFL thoughts! Thanks for the correction old friend!

Well, don't worry about it too much. Every now and again, I still catch myself talking about the Houston Oilers, St. Louis Cardinals and L.A. Rams.
