Awesome post, thanks Beef. Several names I'd like to see on a falcons jersey in the fall.

[Beef]

Thanks.

By the way, if anyone knows of anyone we've done anything with please post it so I can add them & update the list.

This might be a decent sticky too?

[papachaz]

great job! i like how you did those percentages too. thanks for the hard work and the time it took to do all that

[Radical]

Good post.

[Paulitik]

Is Taiwan Jones really a UDFA prospect? I figured he was still a mid rounder despite the injury history and small school. He's a beast.

yea.. i see him very draftable in the mid rounds

all that aside... good list... We have a big like this in the draft section on AFMB

[g-dawg]

mdrake,

what is your take on Mario Fannin? would he be a good "lightning" to Michael Turner's "thunder"?

I know he worked his way from starter to 3rd string on the Plains in Auburn - give us the homeboy scoop...

Added RB Alex Green from Hawaii, fixed Taiwan Jones, & updated round percentages.
