A win, but a loss in draft order

The good news: The Falcons won a game to finish with four wins.

The bad news: The Falcons may have hurt their draft position.

With the New York Jets and St. Louis, each with three wins, playing the late games Sunday, the Falcons nearly assured themselves of losing out on the No. 2 pick.

Come back later to find out where the Falcons will select in the 2008 NFL draft.

No one is suggesting the Falcons should have thrown the game. However, do you think it was better to win this game, maybe get rid of some bad feelings from a dreadful year or get a better draft pick?

It appears that we'll be drafting No 3...I'll take it. At the very worst, if the speculatin is incorrect, we'll draft No 5...also not bad provided the teams in front of us don't trade their picks... :)
