ATL GM says he has gotten offers for #3 pick

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Thomas Dimitroff faces a crucial decision Saturday with the Atlanta Falcons holding the third pick in the NFL draft.

Does Dimitroff, in his first year as general manager, select Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan to further distance the Falcons from the Michael Vick era?

Would defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey of Louisiana State be the wise choice, especially since the Falcons could take a quarterback with one of their three second-round picks?

Other possibilities may include Virginia defensive end Chris Long, Arkansas running back Darren McFadden and Ohio State defensive end Vernon Gholston.

The Miami Dolphins, who have the first pick, have been in negotiations with Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long.

The Falcons, who were 4-12 in 2007, are rebuilding under Dimitroff and new coach Mike Smith after cutting Warrick Dunn, Alge Crumpler and Rod Coleman and trading DeAngelo Hall.

On Monday, Dimitroff hinted he may also have the option of trading the No. 3 pick. Only two weeks after he said he had no offers for the pick, Dimitroff said he has had interest from other teams.
