matt ryan

Kevin Mawae, who is currently the NFL Players Association president, had this to say of Matt Ryan's ridiculous deal:

This might be part of the reason the owners opted out of the current deal.  It is ridiculous to give any player, especially a quarterback, who has never played a game in the NFL that kind of money.  Matt Ryan's total deal is 6 years, $72 million. 

The big day is finally here.  I will be updating this thread with every pick as the draft goes along.  It is already a good day because the Titans have locked up Michael Roos to a long term deal.

....the Baltimore Ravens represented by Don Francisco select....

Matt Ryan, quarterback, Boston College

This pick fills a need for the Ravens. They have not had good QB play since Dilfer(who despite leading them to a SB victory was usually only serviceable).

the Atlanta Falcons represented by Kayne select....

Sedrick Ellis, defensive tackle, USC.

I wanted either Jake Long or Glenn Dorsey, but with them both being picked, I had to decide between a few guys.

I was in Chicago watching my Cubs get kicked by the Brewers yesterday.  That is why there were no updates to the site.

Here is how the best hair in draft analysis currently has the top 25 prospects ranked:

1. *Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas (6-foot-1, 208)
   
   
2. Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU (6-2, 292)
   
   
3. Jake Long, OT, Michigan (6-6, 320)
   
   
4. Chris Long, DE, Virginia (6-4, 282)
   
   
5. Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC (6-1, 297)
   
   
6. Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College (6-4, 223)
