Glenn DorseyWell Falcons fans, there’s only one obvious pick left to talk about. That’s right, the large mountain of a DT down in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Glenn Dorsey. Boy he’s a beast! As a Georgia Bulldog I’ve seen firsthand what he can to an opponent’s offensive line. He single handedly decimated just about every line he went up against, including that vaunted (insert laugh here, then another laugh, then point a finger, then laugh again) Ohio State line. Yes, he had help on a darn good National Title Team, but let’s also remember he wasn’t One Hundred Percent healthy.

Is he completely healthy now you ask??? Well, according to inside sources, Dorsey will be at or near One Hundred Percent by the time training camp starts. He’s been working out using mainly low impact pool and aquatic exercises and both knees seem to be coming along nicely.

The next question is; is he a good fit for the Falcons? Of course he is! Dorsey is a game changer at a position where there aren’t that many game changers. He immediately makes the entire front seven better, especially last year’s top pick, Jamaal Anderson. With Dorsey and Anderson the Falcons would now have a young D-line to begin the rebuilding process. An O-linemen and a WR in the second round, and then best available the rest of the way could go a long way to a bright future…oh and by the way, as much as I don’t like him, you and I both know Tebow’s coming out next year!!!

Now, I truly believe that if Dorsey is available the Falcons will take him. I reiterate, if they take Ryan over Dorsey it will be the biggest mistake in Falcons draft history, and that’s saying a lot. Now, you ask… J.T. what if they don’t take Dorsey or Ryan? Well sports fans, my next article will address just that, along with my surprise prediction for the Falcons draft. Also, stay tuned for my full first round mock draft as well as an analysis of who the Falcon’s could and should take throughout the draft.

    I’m with ya, JT, but if you believe the whispers, and I tend to, the Rams are going to do something pretty stupid and draft Glenn Dorsey, giving them 3 starter caliber DTs (if you include Clifton Ryan, and anyone who watched him probably would) in their last 8 or so draft picks and zero defensive ends.

    The Rams need Chris Long, but word is they’ll be taking Glenn Dorsey. That makes this Falcons fan a little sick to my stomach.
