The irony is that one could argue that Atlanta lost the superbowl because Freeman missed a block and allowed Ryan to be sacked.
(One of the many plays anyway)
It kind of looks like the right tackle missed an assignment.
Even if it's not.... How can you leave the most dominant guy for batting down passes in the past decade unblocked, needing to dump the ball right behind him?
If true, I think even less of Hackett.
Relax.
Kiper gave the Seahawks a D at first in the draft that produced Sherman and Maxwell.
And he gave the Lions an A- for Nick Fairley, Titus Young and Mikel Leshoure.

They must want someone else. The Bills twitter feed also has a question about who the #3 QB is and do the bills want him?
Maybe they want Grayson and think he will go after Petty so they want to know which round he'll be taken in
All in all, trading down to get EJ and picking up Kiko => McCoy seems like a huge win when you look at how bad this draft class was. Probably one of the worse that I can remember.
It is still a little early, and time will tell. But man... compare this draft to 2011... yikes.

4M would be a steal for Clay. He would do really well in the Delanie Walker role I think.
When the Patriots played the Dolphins, they put their best corner on Clay (when healthy) and not Wallace.

Uncertainty and fear of injury allowed the Saints to land Brees for backup money.
I say we take a flier on Bradford with a great OC. He's never had any real weapons and most people thought he was the Luck/Peyton of his draft class.
Who else would lead the search? Pegula?
If they don't like Whaley, they'll pull a Nix/Whaley transition anyway... you need some continuity since Whaley has to see through this draft at a minimum.
