Archer....and Garoppolo

Two more MAC and Falcon-related nuggets from last night's draft...

First, Dri Archer went in the late 3rd to Pittsburgh.  This is an excellent place for him to go.  There are teams that just don't seem to make bad picks, and Pittsburgh is one of them (Green Bay too).  Anyway, Archer can be a change of pace guy, a 3rd down guy and return kicks there.  I think it is a good franchise to land with.

Second, Jimmy Garoppolo landed in the late 2nd with New England.  This is a BOOM.  Obviously, you want to land with the best organization in the NFL, you want to be with the Patriots.  They have the ability to think long-term....like drafting a QB who could take over for Tom Brady.  They know what they are doing---I doubt this is a miss for them.

Of course, we're interested at BG because he was the QB for Babers at EIU...and it was his play in the Babers offense that made him the top FCS player and a 2nd round pick.

Going to be fun times.
