Unofficial word is that there will be no trade. Chris Long will be the #2 pick and will go to the St. Louis Rams.

Ah, you beat me to it, bears!
Don't you have to go mow your lawn or something, kid?

So now this puts the spotlight on the Falcons. Will it be Dorsey, Ryan or a trade down?

I'm thinking it's Dorsey, if they want him as bad they say they do, they'll take him.

I agree. There are some rumblings that they want Ryan, but I think that's likely to bait someone (Baltimore?) on a trade.

I think most of that talk was based on the fact, they thought Dorsey was going #2 as well.

Looks like the early part of the draft is becoming clear:
1. Jake Long to Miami
2. Chris Long to St. Louis
3. Dorsey or Ryan to the Falcons
4. Darren McFadded to the Raiders.

These are still unofficial, but it looks like these will be the first four picks of the draft.

[Lefty Noob]

Chris Mortensen is reporting the Falcons will take Matt Ryan with the third pick. Dorsey will slide to at least the 5th pick.

[Lefty Noob]

Less than an hour to go, folks. Then we get to find out if the first four picks go as expected.

[Lefty Noob]

Hmm... ESPN is reporting there's still a shot the Rams will trade out of #2, swapping picks with Baltimore for Terrell Suggs.
The Ravens, then, of course would draft Matt Ryan. Again, this is just a rumor, but it'll be interesting to see if this changes things at all.

I think Ryan will go top 4. Personally I don't think he is worth it but teams are desperate to have a top QB. Until he throws interceptions "ala" Brett Farve.

If he does, it'll be Atlanta. Miami's set, St. Louis wants defense and the Raiders just drafted JaMarcus Russell last year.

I'm thinking Atlanta to replace Michael Vick.
