Mock Draft Take 4.

Please say it isn’t true. Could the Falcons possibly be looking to go with a TE with their first round pick? Half of the usatoday.com panel (4 out of 8 pundits) thinks this is a likely scenario.

  • Jim Corbett – Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Oklahoma State
  • Nate Davis – Brian Cushing, LB, Southern California Derek Harper – Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Oklahoma State
  • Sean Leahy – Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Oklahoma State
  • Matt Pitzer – Evander Hood, DT, Missouri
  • Rob Rang – Michael Johnson, DE, Georgia Tech
  • Larry Weisman – Louis Delmas, S, W. Michigan
  • Scott Zucker – Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Oklahoma State

Early on in my off season reports I did list a decent dump off safety net type TE as a need, but good grief, we do not need to revisit the Reeves era of taking a TE (or two) early and often.

Up until this report, I felt certain the Falcons were going to go defense with their first couple of picks, but now I am getting worried. Where there’s smoke, there is fire. Looks like the coals are smoldering.
