Is it just me, or does it seem like Ryan's signing was pretty early for such a high draft pick? I know No. 1 overall picks often are signed before being drafted, but besides that.

He will be a bust, he was the only QB in this years draft, and he wasn't even that good in college. The Falcons and Arthur Blank are looking to sweep the Vick scandal under the rug and give the Falcons fans a glimmer of hope. It's going to be a rough 2 win season for the Falcons next year.
