Since the Falcons cut Rod Coleman, they have a huge hole in their defensive line. I doubt that they will go with a QB for their first choice, I’d say they go with Dorsey, who is a DT, not an OT. Then again it is the Falcons, so who knows.
McFadden is going to have a huge impact on the NFL, and I doubt that he will last to the 6th pick. But the Jets really could use him, that’s for sure.
