Jim Thomas, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports the Atlanta Falcons had a private workout with Ohio State University DE Vernon Gholston on the university's campus.

Interesting the Falcons worked him out... I didn't think they were interested in him.

Hmmm... so could it be the Falcons expect Jake Long to go #1 and Dorsey to go #2?

Then they'd be evaluating Chris Long vs Gholston at #3?

I thought in this situation they'd go Ryan, but perhaps not...

Hmmm. If the Falcons take him then either J Long, C Long or Dorsey will be available for us!! I'd be ok with that to say the least.

They are gonna work him out, they will look at everyone in the top 5.

[MileHighRaider]

OR... are they entertaining moving down to allow somebody else to move up for McFadden?

If Jake goes #1 and Dorsey goes #2, would the Falcons (who really want Dorsey but he's gone) trade down to #6 thinking #3 would go McFadden, #4 will go Chris Long, and #6 will go Clady?

Hmmm...

^ A definate possibility if Glenn goes #2!


"If" Jake and Glenn go with tha first two picks I feel Atlanta goes w/Sed. They r desperate for not just one, but several DT's of starting quality.

Outside LB's and DE's r not a need for Atlanta...needs almost everywhere else however.

Atlanta could also look ta trade down w/NY allowing them ta take DMac then hope Sed is available(he should be imo) at #6

Trade down scenario for Atlanta...
Miami - Jake
St. Louis - Glenn
NY(via Atlanta) - DMac
Oakland - Chris
Kansas City - Clady/Albert
Atlanta - Sed

Man, if that's the case, Gholston goes a lot lower than #1/#2 as some rumors have it.

This is the way the draft should be... nobody has a friggen clue what will happen.

I would be very surprised if ATL takes Matt Ryan. They have three 2nd round picks, which is more than enough to move back into the first round and take someone else, or they can sit back and wait for Henne, Brohm, or Flacco or whoever to fall to them.
