Now by some strange reason the Rams do go with Dorsey there will be no whining here, cuz Dorsey is a beast.
bigblue,

I think your post is "straight down the middle" and an honest assessment of the situation. Who knows, maybe we are wrong and the Rams really do want Dorsey? Of course they "like" Dorsey - what is not to like? He's a great player.........We shall see what happens....

back to falcons....Don Banks of CNNSI put in his article today that he has a reliable source stating that the Atlanta Falcons will NOT take Matt Ryan even if Glen Dorsey is "off the board" - i found this very interesting as many(myself included) just assumed the Falcons would take Ryan(of course they still could). Normally I ignore a lot of the "smoke" regarding media - but Don Banks is solid reporter and he was the one that broke the Michael Vick/Dog-fighting investigation wide open. I give Banks credence when he says something.

I think you will see the Falcons try like crazy to trade out of the #3 slot(if Dorsey gone). In a trade-down, I think you would see the Falcons take either Sedrick Ellis, Ryan Clady or Branden Albert.

We shall see....
