Finally!
Omar #164, taken by the Steelers. Obviously, not an ideal place to go---they seem to have a long-term solution at that position (smile), but it is a good organization where he will get a chance to develop. He will be under no pressure to deliver right away, and can learn.
I think this is farther than Omar thought he was going to fall when the whole thing started, but its all in the past. On the field, do what you do between the lines, and let the rest take care of itself.
I think there was some growing schadenfreude in the Falcon Nation over the lack of movement on Omar, especially when the kid from Furman got taken. That, of course, is what happens when you try to set yourself apart.
Mel Kiper has been banging on the Josh Harris drum for two days--if Harris wasn't much, than how do they think Omar can? The ESPN heads just got done talking about how he should have stayed another year, and how he has physical skills but a scary delivery, blah, blah.
Final note of irony. Many Falcon fans are also Browns fans....Josh Harris was drafted by the Ravens...and Omar was drafted by the Steelers. Ouch.
