There is no doubt that A.J. Terrell will eventually be a starter for the Atlanta Falcons, but he is not an instant impact player and that is what the Falcons had to have in the first round this year. Sure, they will trot him out there and give him a chance, but he is not better than any corner the Falcons currently have.
What this first round really signifies is that Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank is not as sold on Thomas Dimitroff and Dan Quinn as he has alleged and was not willing to allow them to mortgage the future of the franchise for a front office and a coaching staff that he is not sold on.
