An Irresponsibly Early Atlanta Falcons 2012 Roster

Ah, spring. That magical time of year where the temperature rises, the grass grows so fast that my ancient mower begs me to put a bullet in its mechanical head and I come out with my early stab at a final roster.

So here's my best crack at the final 53 for our beloved birds. It features all but one of this year's rookies and a couple of small surprises, and it's likely to be horribly inaccurate. I just enjoy seeing what you all think, and seeing what your final roster looks like.

And yes, before you ask, I did include Sam Baker.

After the jump, the whole chart.
