Ryan Clady? Jeff Otah?  Matt Ryan?(i'm thinking that's a "NO - ha!)   My fear for the Falcons is that you guys would take Sedrick Ellis - what say you? hey, I’m a Falcon fan here….like trolling the other team sites to see what everybody is thinking on draft picks.  The guys on message board at http://www.atlantafalcons.com absolutely HATE Matt Ryan and the general "thought" is that the Falcons will wait until one of their three(yes three!) 2nd round picks to address QB – maybe move into bottom of 1st – to get the QB.So, you guys can "forget" that the Falcons are taking Ryan – we are not!  I don’t think Dolphins are either – so, if Edwards/Peterson want him – he will be their for KC.  I agree with you guys that you would be better served avoiding Matt Ryan – he is O-V-E-R-A-T-E-D!!!  Mike Mayock has shamelessly promoted him and they have connection (same college alum/personal relationship – Ryan works at Mayocks football camp).Falcons will probably take either Glen Dorsey or Jake Long at #3 (assuming one of them falls).  We could have "trade action" if Jets/Cowboys want McFadden – assuming Jets do trade w/ Falcons(we pick up Jets 2nd rounder – to have four 2nd rounders!), then it interests me what you guys(KC Chiefs) would do at #5.   If the following were "off the board" (Chris Long, Jake Long, Glen Dorsey, Darren McFadden) – who do you guys take?  Sedrick Ellis?

St.Louis (aka our biggest Jake Long taker threat) is bringing Glenn Dorsey in for a 2 day visit... ALSO Vernon Gholston's stock seems to be rising like crazy... We know that Ryan is being looked at by MIA and ATL, so theres an odd man out... Either thats Matt Ryan or Chris Long... This is gonna be intersting.

Anyone that watches him can see that he's not going to be the next Joe Montana. If I thought he was I'd be all for drafting him even though I believe Croyle deserves another chance. The thing is, Joe Montana wouldn't have been Joe Montana without help. You've got to build a team up, and then pull the quarterback card. A great team is carried by a great quarterback, but a great team is not built by a great quarterback. How many more potential big time quarterbacks careers have to be killed by being drafted by a team without the necessary people around him to help him along the way before teams learn from the mistakes made by others? Personally, I'm changing the channel. I think Ryan will make a decent quarterback in the NFL. Anyone that watches him can see that he’s not going to be the next Joe Montana.

I'll get to that in my next post.<br /><br />Merlinnj, love ya buddy, but if you think that we sent Carl, Chan and Herm to check out Gosder Cherilus, then you are in a serious state of denial. All three wouldn't go if Jake Long had a Pro Day. Brohm is not better than Ryan, for starters. I’ll get to that in my next post.

Say, for example, a certain O-lineman. There were more players than Ryan at that pro day. Say, for example, a certain O-lineman.

Brohm was always the top quarterback and Ryan was no where to be found until Petrino left - then everyone in the NFL/Media/Mock drafters started looking for the next best QB and it first went to Woodsen and then Ryan.......so to me that says that none of the QB's are top 5 worthy but instead they needed to throw someone up there and Ryan had the best year........that hardly makes him a top talent in my book......Ryan is the same as Clady in my book - both are great football players, and if we traded down to get them great......but in the 5 spot we would be crazy to reach for them......just my two cents Zach – my point about Brohm and Petrino was that Brohm was a sure bet to go to Atlanta while he was there.
