Riley will be good to go by the start of pre-season games. It's a 16-20 week rehab on torn labrum surgery and he's already 4 weeks in.

We are going to likely select an OT next. That's where we're lacking. We have 5 OG's on the roster and only 3 OT's.

We may get a TE if Kittle or Hodges are still there at 136 too, and then get OL after that. Like Julie'n Davenport.

At this point I'm not 100% sure we take an OT, we only carry 1 extra tackle and a backup center on the active roster usually. And while from a numbers perspective it would seem we need a tackle, guard is really the only "weak link" on the offense and it doesn't seem like the FO is too concerned about it. I think we'll build some more depth on D (Safety and front 7) and hopefully a solid receiving TE, but we'll see.

We got 4 picks in the next 65. I'm 100% certain we get an OT with at least one of them.

But also yes, very likely a FS and TE as well.

I like DE/OLB Samson Ebukam too. Plus there's a couple late round RB's we like.

This division is now about the Falcons and the Bucs. New Orleans is about two years away from going into the NFL's cellar, and they know this. Once Brees retires, it's over.

I'm hoping so, our current options at RG aren't very impressive.

Well there's the tackle...

EDIT: Nevermind. NFL Network had him listed as a tackle but he's a guard. Told you we would get one today.

Took a center from Oregon State, but guessing he fits in at guard for us. 6'3, 300lbs. Was suppose to go in the later rounds, but with the run on lineman, we had to go for it.

Haven't seen much of him, but he didn't play guard, so will be tough to judge how he fits in.

Apparently he is know as an "effort guy". So im guessing he will at least make someone work to earn that guard spot

NFL network said he played OT and G and the Falcons announced him as a guard.

ESPN has him as a center. I'm all confused now...

ETA: I'm pretty sure ESPN is wrong. This is from OSU blog "Harlow was four year starter at OSU, starting 37 games (23 at Left Tackle and 14 at Right)"

His dad played OT in the league, but Sean is two inches shorter. Probably why he projects as a guard.

EDIT 2: He was second team all conference as an OT. He didn't play center. ESPN proves, yet again, they suck.

Caleb Brantley (recently arrested) and TE Bucky Hodges are still available, I'd take either.

I guess they wanted a bruiser for short yardage situations

Doesn't look like a short yardage back.

Kazee will play FS for us.

5'11 190, 4.54 40yd.

16 interceptions, 27 pass breakups, and 200 tackles as three year starter for San Diego St. at FS and CB.
That's ridiculous ballhawking production. I don't care that it was only at SD St. Kid can obviously tackle too.



Brian Hill had insane college RB production.

Freshman 1,000 yards, 7 TDs
Sophomore 1,763 yards, 8 TDs
Junior 1,927 yards, 22 TDs

6'1 220, 4.54 40yd
