Falcons At The Senior Bowl

    The Falcons are busy in Mobile this week. Dimitroff & Coach Smith are taking a good look at outside linebackers, defensive ends, and offensive linemen prospects. Those are the top needs moving forward. Not that the Falcons personnel department needs my input, but I've got a short list of the guys they should be looking at this week.
    1- Tim Tebow. Dimitroff and Smith will take a peek or two, even though they don't need a QB. Tim's the top name in Mobile and he's there to impress. All the personnel guys will be checking that out. Everyone is curious to see how he performs this week. 
    2- Eric Norwood. The Falcons need outside linebacker help in the worst way. This guy is a playmaker. Serious ball skills. He can bring pressure off the edge (South Carolina's all-time sack leader) and he can drop and cover. Dude is from Ackworth and came out of N. Cobb High. He's always around the ball, can tackle, and force turnovers. Right now, he's considered a 3-4 round pick. This guy would look good in a Falcons uniform.
    3- Chris Scott. Got to get bigger and more physical up front on the O-Line. He played LT for the VOls this season and RT earlier in his career at Tennessee. I see him as a guard in the NFL. Check out the size: 6-5, 346. Chris is a Lovejoy High product here in the Atlanta area. Looks like a 4th round pick.
    4- Javy Arenas. Falcons still searching for cover guys and this cat performed against slot receivers in nickel sets. He is also a dangerous return man, which the Falcons need too. Championship character is a plus. May be around in the 3rd round. 
    5- Sean Weatherspoon. Outside LB from MIssouri. Athletic and 6'1", 245. Can run. Maybe around in the 3rd round. 
    6- Antonio Coleman. DE out of Auburn. Might be better fit in a 3-4 as an OLB, but worth taking a close look at. Probably a 4-5 round pick. Can rush the QB. Played a lot of football.
    7- Sam Young. OT from Notre Dame. Set a Notre Dame record by starting 50 games. Prospect as a right tackle in the NFL. Entering process as a 3-4 round pick. 
    8- Perish Cox. CB out of Oklahoma State. Did a nice job on A.J. Green in game against Georgia. Tough cover guy. Can return kicks too. 
    9- Trevard Lindley. CB out of Kentucky. Outstanding cover corner. A playmaker. Get to know him, Flacons might like him.
 10- Rodrick Muckelroy. 6'2", 235 LB from Texas. Good tackler, tough competitor. Experience at inside and outside. Played 40 games. Muschamp loved him.
