The average Atlanta Falcons fan is from Georgia (you're learning so much today!) and thus probably also a Georgia Bulldogs fan. Therefore the average Falcons fan would really like to have A.J. Green around. But woe is us, our team picks No. 27, not No. 2 or No. 7. Enter Peter King!
The Sports Illustrated columnist says Atlanta is trying to trade into the top 10 for a crack at either Green or Julio Jones. Roddy White, for one, doesn't believe it, pointing out general manager Thomas Dimitroff's New England Patriots background.
The great Green-to-Falcons hope has been slapped down repeatedly around these parts, and the team hasn't even worked out either of the receivers -- that we know of, at least. All indications are that Atlanta is looking to draft a receiver in the middle rounds.
