Falcons director of player personnel Les Snead will be the next Rams GM. Mr. Snead has been in Atlanta for 13 years. Did you realize anybody had been here for 13 years? I sure didn't.

Congratulations to Mr. Snead.

The player rep for Stanford Routt indicated the free agent CB already has visits planned with the Titans and Bills.

The Titans likely view him as a replacement for Finnegan. Feb 9 - 8:43 PM

Five-Round Mock Draft! Five-Round Mock Draft!

Look! A mock draft that actually ventures far enough into the unknown to list Falcons picks! I'd be fine with this crop. The casual college football fan has likely heard of at least a couple of these gents sent to Atlanta.
