Report: Falcons Looking at Center

According to Scout.com, the Falcons are planning to visit with Baylor center J.D. Walton before the NFL Draft.

Birdseed: March 1, 2010

If you followed my Twitter feed from Tuesday through the trip to the Scouring Combine you got a few posts about non-football topics.
