Falcons draft QB Matt Ryan

With the #3 pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons select QB Matt Ryan, Boston College. Good pick?

Re: Falcons draft QB Matt Ryan

I don't like it. They should've picked Dorsey and gotten the QB later.
With all those 2nd round picks, they could've moved back into the first round and gotten Brohm or Flacco.

OK, I think they had to make this move, they need a new face of the franchise, and a clean start. No disrespect to Dorsey, but they need Matt Ryan.

Yeah, another move that was what I expected it to be...good move...unless Ryan fails to measure up...but I like the kids make-up

I think he starts immediately. Atlanta has a good RB now with Turner, so he won't get killed or anything.

I'm not sure he'll be that bad, but I definitely think they;ll regret not taking Dorsey and getting the QB later.

i aggree totally with Lefty on this one come on could of got Dorsey he fell right in there lap the best rated player in the draft and they go with # 10 pick i thought when they could of had a #1 pick at 3rd "just my 2 cents".

I'm not sure. I think this was a pick made more to send a message to the fans and to Michael Vick, and less to actually help the team.

Man...I want to be there with you...but you don't pass on Dorsey just for the sake of damage control...I don't think they are that dumb...but you may be right...if its a Lefty Noob theory, it carries weight with me...

Re: Falcons draft QB Matt Ryan

Crap - I had high hopes for the draft - from Ryan on down I feel less and less confident. I hope I'm wrong but ...............

What picks don't you like, and who was still on the board when the pick got made?

This was a good move. I think they got the most out of the draft
