Should be interesting in Atlanta... the only QBs they have under contract now are journeyman backup Chris Redman and the unproven DJ Shockley.

Any chance they don't draft Matt Ryan with their #3 pick?

I think the only chance Ryan is not drafted by Atlanta is if he breaks his leg and/or arm during his individual workouts OR if Miami takes him at #1.(which I do not think will happen)

I was listening to Ron Jaworski Friday night and he said he's been watching a lot of tape of Ryan and thinks there is no way that he slides past Atlanta with pick #3. Jaws thinks he's just that good a QB.
