I made some changes, and adding some preliminary grades to some of these guys. No exact science (one could say I pulled them out of my butt) to the numbers, just based off a gut feeling about the guy.

Scroll down for defensive rankings.

I'd have to agree with the assessment. Rob G out of Arizona wish the falcon's had a shot at him but he'll likely go top 10 in the 2nd round.I think the kid from Miami could be a good developmental player.

Bump for the ratings added to offensive players.

Damn Pudge you've gone all out this year with your draft scouting, nice work... Where do you find the time, this must take forever to compile

If we go another position in the 1st(not def end) I'd like to see the Falcon's take a flier on Hardy from Mississippi in the 3rd. Maybe he'll mature and with good coaching could do something. I still like Graham with an ouside shot at Spoon since def end is more of a priority than linebacker or should I say a more impact position. If both players are rated fairly high I think Spoon or Graham wil be the pick.

Wow you have Odrick pretty low.I'm not to fond of Penn State def lineman either.It's possible Renie Curran could be taken in the 3rd by the Falcon's. I see you have Moeaki generally where the Falcon's could draft him in the 4th round. Matt Tenant looks like according to your rankinbgs Pudge a possible 3rd round pick also.It would be nice to have John Jerry but he looks like a 2nd round pick.I'd like a project off lineman either guard/tackle not sure if Reynolds can be a fulltime starter in the future for Atlanta now.We need to prepare for after this coming year having a few free agent off linemen.I don't see alot of talent ready to step in.

Bump for defensive ratings.
