Birdseed: April 21, 2010

If you’ve been keeping up with my 2010 mock drafts you know there’s plenty of paths the Falcons may take through the selection process.

You also know a lot depends on the actions of teams with the first 18 picks.

So why do football fans and journalists make mock drafts in the first place? For some, it’s something to do. For others — like me – it’s a way to learn the players whose names will get called at some point Thursday or Friday.

Which means I should probably get to work…

Falcons to host a Monday night game in 2010, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Two prime time games at home. Not too shabby.

Anything that could be considered a problem on the schedule is corrected, hence the three-straight road games followed by two at home to close the season. That said, the back-loading of division games may prove both exciting and problematic.

Totally premature, yes. Bad read? Absolutely not. We all have to start breaking down the schedule sometime and this is one of the best.

Falcons to teach golf to youth of First Tee of Atlanta, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Anything having to do with golf is awesome in my book.

Before we start counting predicting wins and losses let’s look at some of the technical aspects of the schedule.

This headline gives me an idea for a cool feature. Wish we could put it together in a day but we’ll still have some cool stuff on AF.com for you this weekend.

    Picture us taking Taylor Mays tommorow! This guy scares me. He’s BOOM or Bust, he will be one or the other in this league. If we get him i think our draft will look more like this…

    1. Taylor Mays – Sean Taylor or Jimmy Williams
    3. Navvaro Bauman- Reminds me of Lavar Arrignton a bit.
    3. Matt Tennient – Matty’s old bud
    4. Marty Gilyard- Roddy White Clone
    4. Jason Worlds – Biggest Sleeper DE! Robert Mathis like
    5. Joe Mcknight – Biggest Sleeper RB! Reggie Bush Clone
    6. Brandon Ghee – CB Steal! (Champ Bailey Skill set)
    6. Kyle Williams- WR 4.39 40 Can move move move in open field
    7. Best Kicker Avail.

    We get the additional forth by bundling Mike Jenkins, Jamal Anderson and a next year’s 5th round pick. (At least that’s my hope!)

    C.J. Spiller will be an Atlanta Falcon! Norwood is history. Remember we are competing with the Saints.If we draft all defensive players,How will we have enough talent to score with those guys.There is no way in h—-ll our offense is where it needs to be to compete with the “Big Boys”! Forget About It!
