The Falcons Can Make It Back to Back Longs

#3

There are really two choices here for Atlanta.

Their first choice would most likely be Matt Ryan, IF, he is available.

Their second choice would be Jake Long. Since, in this mock, Ryan is already claimed I have the Falcons taking Long.

With all of the money that Atlanta threw at Michael Turner Long will be key to opening holes for Atlanta's new speed burner.

Last Season, Joe Thomas gave the Browns everything that they hoped he would when they selected him with the third overall pick and I expect Jake Long, who was rated higher than Thomas two years ago, to be a cornerstone for the Falcons for 10-15 years.

After Long's Freshman season he only allowed 1 sack and that was against Ohio State and Vernon Gholston.

Raiders Select ....
The combine freak Vernon Gholsten.

After looking over the trade posssibilities and debating over Dorsey and Gholsten Al went what he always goes with. Speed & Atheletism.

Gholsten goes opposite D Burg along with the rotation inside of Kelly, Sands, Warren and Joseph. Should solidfy the front 4.

Thoughts?

Wow!!! No D-Mac Huh?
Gholston and D-Mac are the two best players in this draft, imo and Gholston fills more of a need.
Pride And Poise!!!
