Today\u2019s featured mock draft is from J. Michael Moore from the FalconsLIFE<\/a> site. Sure, homer type musings are at play, but it gives me something to write about on this foggy Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

Moore\u2019s take on a mock draft does not really contain any surprises; i.e. fairly predictable, and no complete head scratchers, but we are still in the realm of guess work. With the 24th pick, he has the Falcons taking Alphonso Smith (CB, Wake Forest):<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a smart, athletic and aggressive cornerback that leaves Wake Forest as the ACC\u2019s all-time interception leader. Of course, cornerback is just one position of need in Atlanta and the No. 24 pick allows the Birds to take the best defensive player on the board, whoever that may be.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I am of the mindset that the Falcons are in desperate need of some up front defensive linemen. A big piece of meat that can put pressure on opposing QBs will instantly make Atlanta\u2019s suspect secondary look creditable. The only problem is that all the first round caliber d-linemen may be gone by the time the Falcons pick. No need to make a reach pick (i.e. Sam Baker) when there should be decent 2nd and 3rd talent that can contribute to the cause.<\/p>\n
