Falcons Not Likely to Move Up

According to the AJC: "Obviously we've got a local player who is not a good player, he's a great player," Falcons president and general manager Rich McKay said after the official announcement of the trade. "There will be a lot of speculation with respect to that, but it is not so easily accomplished.

"It's extremely expensive from a draft-pick standpoint. Am I going to say to you, 'No, it won't ever happen?' I won't say that, because we've moved up before. Moving up in the first round is very difficult. I think it is more likely to move down than it is to move up. In our case, we've got a number of players that we like up there."

Banking on Quinn

SI's Don Banks mock guess = NDQB

Quinn wants to be a Brown, and as much as Cleveland needs a quarterback for the future, it's hard for me to imagine that they could hold the third pick and not come away with either of the top two passers or the best prospect in the draft (Johnson). If Browns owner Randy Lerner green lights a QB pick, general manager Phil Savage and coach Romeo Crennel shouldn't take a must-win-now approach.

Sav talked to WTAM yesterday and gave updates on some key injuried players.
