With the 27th pick of the 2011 Music City Miracles Mock Draft, the Atlanta Falcons (represented by Kayne) select:
Jimmy Smith, CB, Colorado
From Kayne:
I will select CB Jimmy Smith from the University of Colorado (school of the much accomplished Rashaan Salaam). The Falcons most pressing need is to get another DE (along with Abraham) who can get to the QB, and actually tackle him. However, the dilemma with this pick is whether the Falcons want to draft maybe the 7th best DE or the 3rd best CB in the draft. Smith could very easily come in and start from day one as a Nickelback (Don Francisco's favorite band) or he could even compete for one of the starting CB spots. Smith's size at 6-2 will make him tower over all of the current ATL corners who are barely pushing 5-10. He is also said to be a high character guy, which is something that the Falcons management put a lot of stock in nowadays...not so much with the previous management.
