Quick Chat with Steve Wyche

By J. Michael Moore | Published: February 26, 2010
Unlike the 2008 and 2009 NFL Drafts, the Falcons go into the selection process this season with a more laser-guided focus. According to NFL.com’s Steve Wyche, the move should be on defense, probably at cornerback. “I’m going to say best player available on the defensive side,” Wyche said Friday when asked about the Falcons pick at [...]
