I'm pretty much ignoring a couple needs, hoping we can fill them in free agency with guys with a gallon or two left in the tank. I feel its better to draft a quality player that can make a difference than select a guy I don't really feel is a fit for what we need.
Normally, I wouldnt proclaim a punter as a guy that can make an impact on a playoff team...but in this case, this guy absolutely will.
The Falcons werent very good in this aspect and playing in a dome, getting a guy that can consistently pin the other team deep in their own territory and offer a booming leg can make more of a difference here than most of the players still on the board.
In the 6th round of the 2012 NFL draft, The Atlanta Falcons select:
Bryan Anger, P, California
The Steelers are on the clock.
