I was bored today, and decided that I wanted to clean up some of the old files on my computer. And I stumbled upon an old doc from like 5 years ago where I had picked who I would have selected with the Falcons picks in the 2001-04 drafts. Here are the picks...pretty crappy until the '04 draft if you ask me:

I had a strange affinity with players from Southern Miss.
