Eagle Becomes A Falcon

Thomas Dimitroff, the new Falcons' GM -- and former Director of College Scouting for the Patriots -- "returned" to New England for the first draft choice of his career, selecting Boston College QB Matt Ryan.
With Michael Vick serving time in federal prison, Ryan will be the centerpiece of a rebuilding program in Atlanta. The cupboard isn't exactly bare, but Dimitroff will have to shop for a lot more "groceries" before the Falcons become a playoff contender.
Fortunately, the Falcons have 10 more picks in this draft.
A plus for Ryan is that he does not own any pit bulls.
