With the 24th pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons select……………
The Atlanta Falcons were the clear-cut off-season winners of 2008. Not only did they get their future QB and the 2008 Rookie of the Year, Matt Ryan, they also acquired RB Michael “The Burner” Turner and immediately changed their offense. The Falcons made it to the playoffs and were bounced out early by the Arizona Cardinals but they were still one of the Cinderella stories of the year.
The Falcons have a couple of spots they really need to address in this draft. On the whole the Falcons should focus on the defensive side of the ball. After losing a couple key LBs, they could use their 1st round pick in this areas. I see the Falcons looking at a couple of guys. LB Aaron Maybin from Penn State has seen his stock rise and fall in the last couple of months. Some think he is a top 15 pick but I’m not quite sold that he has done enough to deserve that. I see him falling to the Falcons and if that happens they could get a guy that could be plugged into LB right away. Michael Johnson from Georgia Tech is another LB/DE that the Falcons could fall in love with.
Although I think he will be gone in the top 15 picks, TE Brandon Pettigrew from Okl. St. would be a perfect fit for the Falcons if he drops to them. Offensively they would be set and could focus the rest of the draft on defense and the center position. C Max Unger from Oregon is also a guy that interests me for the Falcons.
