Falcons | Team could move up in draft
Fri, 25 Apr 2008 12:38:53 -0700

Pete Prisco, of CBSSports.com, reports the Atlanta Falcons, who have the No. 3 overall pick, may try to work a trade with the St. Louis Rams to acquire the No. 2 overall pick and acquire Louisiana State DL Glenn Dorsey.

Key words "may try". Not buying it, not when Ellis is there still on the board.

They have to many needs that I don't see Dorsey going to them here except only for the fact they have him and we don't???

I like the idea of a rivial building here come on silly move.

Never happen. The Rams are picking a DE, the Falcons are picking a QB, the Raiders are taking RB and will will be trading for Dorsey with KC@5 who need a starting LT/Brown, if the deal goes down at all.

I the Saints are serious about DT, we should trade before Cinny and get Ellis else it will cost us too much.

See I am with you on the first part... I think this is a smoke screen on many levels. Falcons try and get us to give up a lot to the rams since we are a rival. Rams need is DE over a DT. Falcons can't pass on a QB even though they can get a top 3 possible in the early second. Not sold on Raiders going RB but sure. KC trade in the making??? I like it and we get Dorsey.

I think Dorsey is worth the price. Giving up Brown or a second but keeing that second is MAJOR improtance at getting Shockey.

no way the raiders are taking a RB...they have fargas, lamont jordan, dominic rhodes and they are really high on bush (who they drafted last year) all on their roster at the moment and they have a lot bigger needs...of course we are talking about al davis here

Rams get picks and long. sounds like a smart move to me. Sux for the saints though. see it is nice to have a lot of picks

Thank you.

And speaking of Al Davis - let's keep an eye on Jerrry Jones come draft day.

Raiders could go anywhere with all the needs they have. I just don't know if they could pass on a RB here though. They could easily trade back with us. I wouldn't rule them out.

Dorsey to the Falcons though thats like letting them take our dome to Georgia.

Dorsey to the Dirty Byrds makes my skin crawl and my butt pucker up. No sir, don't like it.
