Birdseed: April 22, 2009
Just got back to the office after a “State of the Franchise” lunch for all Falcons employees (sorry “Birdseed” is a little late). It’s a tradition here in Flowery Branch to get everyone together before the draft to share a meal and talk about where the train is heading.
No, Thomas Dimitroff did not tell anyone [...]

The Mock Draft: Version 6.0
We’ve reached a turning point with the Mock Draft. It is, in many ways, the point of no return.
Six weeks ago I started presenting you with various scenarios for the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft, including a lengthy list of possible selections for the Falcons with the No. 24 pick.
At times I’ve felt [...]

The Mock Draft: Version 5.0
I should have known the moment I started getting cocky something would come along and smack me back into reality. Just when I thought I was inspiring some discussion and throwing out wild, though plausible, scenarios NFL news and a few wise comments mixed things up.
Now I’m starting to realize the stress and scrutiny that [...]

The Mock Draft: Version 4.0
It’s taken me four weeks and several mistakes but I think I’m getting the hang of this whole mock draftin’ thing.
Sure, it’s not perfect. Is this how the draft will pan out for the Falcons or the rest of the NFL? Probably not pick-by-pick. But I think these scenarios are leading to interesting conversations.
Like Homer [...]

The Mock Draft: Version 3.0
Three weeks into the mock draft and I think I’m starting to get the hang of it. Or at least I’ve found something that seems to suit me.
Like Homer Simpson morphing into “Dancing Homer,” I feel like I’m spreading some cheer while having little fun.
Then again, like Homer Simpson dancing on top of a dugout, [...]
