 If today’s NFL draft goes as we think it will , expect Atlanta Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff to manipulate the draft in order to add as many quality players as possible. Already with 11 picks in the seven round draft, the Falcons are expected to possibly deal their first pick altogether or draft a player they can deal to a team with a later first round pick. Both the New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys have shown interest in acquiring Arkansas running back Darren McFadden and both clubs would need to trade-up to get the explosive back.
[If the Falcons keep their No.3 overall pick; expect the team to draft Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan(pictured)] While it would be hard to pass on Boston College QB Matt Ryan, rated as the top signal caller in the draft or DL Glenn Dorsey or Chris Long, Dimitroff must consider any trade options offered. The Cowboys own the 22nd and 28th picks. The Falcons, with so many picks could trade down for more picks and draft a quarterback later. Trading the third pick to Dallas would ensure McFadden will arrive at Valley Ranch by days end. Online sportsbook BetUS.com is offering wager opportunities on who the Atlanta Falcons draft of the 3rd pick in todays NFL Draft. Gamblers have until 12:00 Noon Saturday to post their bets. Matt Ryan 5/6 ($600 to win $500) Glenn Dorsey 1/1 ($100 to win $100) Chris Long 4/1 ($100 to win $400) Vernon Gholston 10/1 ($100 to win $1000) If the Falcons do not trade their pick top-pick, expect the team to go with Matt Ryan.
