Coming off a strong playoff run the Atlanta Falcons (while largely keeping the offense intact) lost several key defensive players , but with the signing of future Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez the Falcons became free to concentrate on replinishing thier Defense this weekend picking up several potetial Starters
Round 1
Peria Jerry DT (Ole Miss)
Jerry Adds an immediate upgrade to the defensive line and can be expected to start from day one. Many draft analysts had listed the SEC hardend Peria Jerry the best DT in the draft ahead of the ACC tested BJ Raji. Jerry is naturally athletic and shows surprising speed for a DT his size. Has the ability to slice through an Offensive line and make the sacks ( he had 8 at Ole Miss). Shows natural leadership and should become one of the main guys here in Atlanta for years to come.
Round 2
Willliam Moore SS ( Mizzou)
An elite speedster , shows great coverage in the run and is not afraid to knock around a few heads. Has 11 career interception (4 he took back for 6 points). At one point last year his was projected to go in the top 10 but after an injury riddled senior season he dropped to the 2 round in 09 allowing the Falcons to get a possible steal. If there is one knock against Moore it is his deep coverage skills. Moore will no doubt get a shot to compete for the starting job but won't probally see it till he's a year or two more experienced.
