Landry

[YardRat]

Might as well write in Landry and move on to Miami.

[BILLSROCK1212]

Landry

[SquishDaFish]

Landry hands down

[Scumbag College]

Landry is the most obvious choice by far.

[lightningbolt444]

[!Papacrunk!]

I'm going to be the weirdo and say WR, either Jarret or Ginn Jr

[Mr. Miyagi]

I'm going to be the weirdo and say WR, either Jarret or Ginn Jr
Could you choose one of the two?

I too am going weirdo - Ted Ginn Jr.

[Devin]

WR is a legit need, I could totally see it as well. I just think Landry being there is almost to good to be true for the birds.

He and Deangelo Hall should make that secondary lethal.

[ShadowHawk7]

Why did the Vikings pick Anderson with 2 former 1sts already at the position. But, w/e I guess Landry is the pick here too.

[chubluv]

They just signed Joe Horn for the short term solution at WR. So I am gonna go with Landry.
The Falcons can grab a WR in the later rounds. There are plenty of them available

Good question. Maybe Troy "Busta" Williamson is poised for a "breakout" season.

not happening.....Udeze and James both suck by the way so both positions were of need it all depends on which they believe is bigger and looking back on it i believe it is WR but they should trade down or up if they are going to draft one

[Ebenezer]

Hall

[User Manuel]

Marshawn Lynch

[Mr. Pink]

Landry

[more cowbell]

LL

[W1DER1GHT]

LaRon Landry

[Don't Panic]

Landry... would be great if they took Lynch, though. that would give Willis a better chance of sliding to us. Still, Landry.

[Gunzlingr]

Ginn

[mysticsoto]

Falcons will likely choose Landry to improve that defense and hope to be a strong playoff contender this year...

[TheGhostofJimKelly]

Amobi Okoye, no question in my mind. Petrino takes one of his boys.

[Italian Stallion]

landry no question

[camelcowboy]

Between Okoye, Landry, and Willis

Has to be Landry

[GarnOFreak]

Ginn, we're supposed to guess who they're gonna pick, not who would make sense! lol :oops:

[Canadian'eh!]

Landry no doubt

[Pinkerton Security]

I have always been appalled at the mediocrity of their receivers (though Vick isnt even a real QB), so I'll say Ginn.

As for the Minnesotta DE's "sucking":

Erasmus James had 4 sacks in 05 while playing in only 10 games, and he only played in 1 game in 06 due to an injury. He really began to show good things near the end of 05.

Kenechi Udeze had a putrid 06, after missing almost all of 05 with an injury. However in 04 Udeze had 5 sacks as a rookie.

Teamed together (which these two havent really been yet) they should combine to be a good DE tandem. To give up on either now is a very stupid decision to make.

So one bad year, playing oppositte a rookie for Udeze (after coming back from a serious injury) and he's out the door? A former 1st round pick (#18 overall) and you just want to throw him away? Here is a novel idea, lets allow for our two first round picks to play together and see what happens for one year. Im glad you are not the gm of this team.
