Video Time: Prospects Edition

It's Saturday, and that means it's time for a video! Today, how about two?

With the Scouting Combine kicking into full gear today, let's look at two short videos of a couple of draft prospects. The first one is of Matt Ryan, leading his team on a final drive against Virginia Tech. He does make some impressive throws. And if you like what you see here, be sure to send this video to any Falcons fan you know! If Falcons fans get excited for Ryan, maybe they will pressure ownership to move up to #1 and get Ryan. After all, that franchise needs to improve its rapport with fans anyway.

This other video is of Tennessee State cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. This guy is a potential star corner. He's 6'2 and has some very good speed. And he'll likely run a 4.4 40. But because he's from a small school, he may be around when the Dolphins pick at #32. And if he is still there, the Dolphins MUST take him. I really feel strongly about this. Take a look below at Rodgers-Cromartie in action:

So that's it for now. Barring any breaking Dolphins news, I'll get back at you all on Sunday night/Monday morning. Enjoy the Combine and have a great weekend!

Looks good
I feel like we should take matt ryan even if we can trade cuz maybe the only reason that the falcons wont trade wit ous cuz dnt think that well take him.But i believe if we do take him then i know the'll realy wanna trade wit ous and also, even if we get him and the falcons dont want him any more its not like we made a bad choose anywayz.I know theres more then just 1 team that want him anywayz,But i think the most important thing to do this weekend its look at the combine and see if any players stand out.....

I know that the BC coach...
...is supposed to be a pretty good HC, but he acts like quite the douchebag during the winning touchdown.

Not sure he's a #1 pick, but...
He does a nice job of buying time and seems to have good accuracy on his throws.

I don't know any Falcons fans....
but a lot of mocks are projecting Cromartie to be available at the bottom of the first.

Right now...
it is anybody's guess as to who we draft. Seeing as Bill & Co. have said precious little about their feelings on the QB position. No doubt, this is by choice to keep teams off balance.

So I could see us, not just the Falcons, as very much in the market for Ryan. Maybe we first try to trade out to get extra picks, but if that fails, then perhaps the fins take Ryan? Or someone else.

FWIW, he improvises very well in that last draft. He gets like no protection and buys time with his feet. His arm seems ok and ditto for his accuracy.

We'll soon know.
