The Falcons have Matt Ryan and now they need to get him some weapons. There are some good WRs available, but the Falcons love the size, speed, hands and leaping ability of one prospect above the others. There are injury concerns as he had surgery and missed most of the 2007 season. However, after workouts and his pro day the Falcons believe he is healthy and his athletic ability, size and production despite playing in a running offense with horrible QBs (50 receptions, 900+yds, 11TDs in 2006) are too much to pass up. Strongly considered Will Franklin, but Monk, when healthy, produced more against better competition and with less of a supporting cast.
With the 129th pick the Atlanta Falcons select WR Marcus Monk, Arkansas.
