Falcons: Team Captains....

[Beef]

I agree completely. If TD and our scouting dept. think Lamar Holmes is a bona fide LT who can come in year 1 and compete for the starting LT spot, then there's little doubt some other teams saw what they saw and were hoping nobody would take him so they could snag him in a later round, and we just happened to get him first.

It's just like Peters in 2010. He had a 5th round grade, yet we grabbed him with our 83rd pick in round 3. Come to find out the NYG's were about to grab him that same round.

Why did we and NYG have a 3rd round grade on him? Because our "professional" scoutting departments are better than Kiper, McShay, and all the hundreds of draftnik sites out there that just copy each other's limited research.

I'd be interested in knowing what round all the current starting LT's on each team were drafted. I BET there's more from rounds 3-7 than there are from rounds 1-2. Just guessing, but I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case.
