ya happy with the Pick? I am, and I'n glad its over. We got a place we needed? I heard Bruce Matthews this morning and he had just like TD doesn't they just tried him out but never talked him. But Bruce Matthews said it would make him happy to play in Atlanta, because his father graduated from GA tech and he said he enjoyed Atlanta. I'm glad we got Jake Matthews we finally got a GREAT O-line men, :)

I think we have a very good OL now. Our offense has the ability to be one of the best.

Aftermath

he will be starting at LT by the end the year

I think Baker will step it up for this season. He has to or else...

Jesus

Baker was hurt he had pretty big surgery last year. He'll be fine. Center is where we should worry. Someone has to step up there.

i love the pick and glad Dee ford got selected as now Crichton is within reach. Figure Houston should go QB (but may not), rams and or jags go WR, Clv and Raiders are the unknowns but Crichton and or Lawrence (Boise state) shoucl be there barring someone trading up....I think I am liking what is there.

We need an edge pass rusher like bad now that we have a franchise LT.

we pick 5th in the second round, Rams don't pick ahead of us again. the only reason they were at 2 was because of the RGIII trade, it's

Texans
Redskins
Browns
Raiders
Falcons

I'm very happy with the Matthews pick. Adding asomoah and drafting matthews, changing oline coach to Tice, we should have a much improved OL this year. I've personally grown very tired of seeing Ryan's ass hit the turf so often the last few years and not being able to pick up short yardage on 3rd and 4th down.

Screw all the 'we didn't trade up' crybabies

OL depth chart:

LT: Baker | Schraeder
LG: Blalock | Gunn
C: Hawley | Konz
RG: Asamoah | Carimi
RT: Matthews | Holmes

Backups:
OL: Mike Johnson
OT: Terren Jones

Likely to be cut before season: Gunn & Jones

Which would mean we're keeping 10 OL's on the roster, and that might be 1 too many, so chance of someone else getting cut too. Maybe Schraeder.

Needless to say, I love the Matthews pick. He's a stud for the next 10-12 years with likely a bunch of pro-bowls in between. Between Matthews and Asamoah, our OL has gotten overwhelmingly better. And whoever is in the middle, Hawley or Konz, is going to have an easier time with actually quality help on both sides of him.

Baker and Blalock are used to playing side by side.
Asamoah and Matthews will be new to the bunch. I think they will grow a quick connection and be fine after a few games.

Hawley or Konz will have a MUCH easier time holding down C.

I see lots of rushing yards coming off that right side. Jackson back to form!

Jackson? Antone can run circles around him...but isnt allow to.
