1. Matt Ryan QB BC - I hope the Longs go 1, 2 so that Dorsey goes to the Falcons and we get Ryan. If Ryan are Dorsey are off the board, I think we might take Sedrick Ellis over Chris Long and Gholston.
I think the Ryan pick may be the best of the bunch for two reasons: if you're going to go into Total Rebuild, QB is the place you start. Ryan is not only the best QB by a mile in this Draft, he's a potential franchise guy, and the QB selection gets worse next year.
1. Godser Cherilus OT BC - assuming Otah is off the board
Would prefer Williams or Harvey, but this isnt' a bad pick.
2. Brandon Flowers CB Va Tech
No, no, no. We cannot afford to take Brandon Flowers with anything higher than a 4th rounder if he's still there. MASSIVE character concern.
3. Brian Johnston DE Gardner Webb - I believe the hype
Well, you're high on it. That's waaaaay too early for a guy who'll still be there in the 5th.
3. Mike McGlynn OG Pittsburgh
Solid.
4. Terrell Thomas CB USC
That's a fair pick as well.
5. DJ Hall WR Alabama
Again, it's a fair pick.
5. Darius Reynaud WR/KR W. Virginia
I'm not really a big fan of drafting a pure KR, and I think Reynaud is too small to succeed in this offense, but it's worth a try I suppose.
6. Cole Bennett TE Auburn
I don't see why we'd opt for him this late -- I think Craig Davis in the 5th is more likely.
6. Brandon Coutu K Georgia
Ugh. I really don't like any kicker other than Mehlhaff as a Draft pick. Coutu has an incredibly powerful leg but extremely iffy accuracy. I think he melts when the pressure's on, too, but I'm not sure.
7. Mike Cox FB Ga Tech
I really don't like drafting a FB either -- you guys understand that we need way too many meat-and-potatoes positions to be dropping picks on dessert options like FB and KR. Gailey doesn't emphasize FBs anyway, and we have three FA no-names that will all duke it out. Why Draft another?
7. Dennis Keyes S UCLA
Last pick, so I'm not too concerned, but this is a fair pick.
