With the 7th pick in the NFL Draft, the Saints select: Sedrick Ellis, USC.

And that's why we came up here, we thought we could get Ellis at 7 and he fell to us!

I know, I didn't even realize that Chris Long was still on the board when I picked for the Falcons, but truth is that they got Jon Abraham who had 10 sacks last year and in 2007 they used the 8th pick to select Jamaal Anderson, who right now has all the makings of a bust but still they have to find a penetrating DT that can cause panick closest to the snap, and Mike Smith knows what a top-rate DT can do for a defense. So if Dorsey can have a Haynesworth/Henderson like impact then passing up Chris Long will be worth it.

I thought maybe I could use Long as a DT for the time being but the truth is thats a strech and Dorsey has done a lot to prove to scouts that he has a clean bill of health.
