Sports - Pancake Blocks: Pancake Blocks Mock Draft: Pick No. 3

The picture sorta gives away this pick. It's written by Troy Hill from endzoneview.

Arthur Blank and the Falcons have a long road ahead of them. Not only do they need to rebuild their team after the unfortunate debacle of Michael Vick, they need to rebuild the relationship with the fans and season ticket holders. They made a great start by addressing the running back situation in free agency landing the highly coveted Michael Turner. It would be wise to continue to change the face of the organization and there’s no better position to do so than at quarterback.

While new head coach Mike Smith would probably prefer to spend the first round pick on a safer defensive option, owner Arthur Blank needs a bankable star, and one that will hopefully make the city of Atlanta forget the star that fell. With the 3rd selection in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons will select QB Matt Ryan of Boston College.

Gregg said this draft was for us to pick who the teams SHOULD take not to guess who they will take, but whatever. Next.

Fair enough.

Blank seems pretty PR-orientated, particluarly after getting scorched by Vick. But do you really think he's ready to hand over the image of his team to another "face-of-the-franchise"?

I guess we'll find out soon enough, but if the anointed savior-route is where they want to be, they probably picked the wrong GM and HC.

This mock draft is what WE think they SHOULD do - not what we think they WILL do- hope everyone else knows this going forward.

The Falcons have the trickiest situation because of the extreme PR ramifications of this pick after last season.

So while other players might make more football sense, I think the Falcons will (and should) take the QB from Boston College.

Sorry for the confusion.
