People will still say we need a qb, so we will reach for Ryan or Brohm (yes one mock had us taking brohm at 3). I think that qb is one the back burner now. Harrington and redman aren't a great rotation, but add in Shockley and that is 3 who could play. If we don't get a qb then we put that on the back burner until after next year, when you will have Tebow and possibly Stafford coming out after their Junior years.

i think we'll cut DJ now and still draft a QB.

Falcons still need to pick a QB in the 1st 3 rounds but this at least keeps them from getting desperate.

This team could do worse, they could've drafted Joey to solve the QB problem

Maybe pursue Brohm with a second round pick or late first if we can move Hall for a first. I don't want Ryan at the 3 spot as I just feel we have other needs that can easily be filled.

If we come out of this draft with something like Dorsey, Brohm, Baker in the first two rounds I'm going to be so thrilled.

That is what I want. Brohm could fall to the second. If he doesn't (and we can't trade Hall for a late first to pick Brohm at), then I am fine with Flacco or Henne.
