Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan, nattily dressed, sat behind a small table at this pre-NFL draft media event at Chelsea Piers. He answered questions about playing for the Falcons. He seemed to have little idea how possibly being selected No. 3 overall by Atlanta is a painful reminder of why he's even being considered as the Falcons' next franchise quarterback.
There has been discussion among the Falcons' decision-makers whether they should make a play for Ryan.
If not, they could draft a player at another position with the third selection (possibly LSU defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey). They could trade down, draft a non-quarterback, collect additional picks and use one of their choices
