Kiper believes the Bucs may have had the league's best draft class

    Bottom line is David and Martin played like solid 1st round draft picks, Barron somewhat less so overall. It's the sum of the 3 the article is talking to, not the individual players. Given the Vikings had a far better pass rush and CB play this year, it's not surprising their S looked better than Barron much of the season. Hopefully we get the pieces next seaon to make our D a much more formidable unit...

I'd go with Seattle's draft as the best, especially considering the so-called "experts" questioned their picks in the first few rounds.  Irvin, Wagner and Wilson all look to be perennial pro-bowlers. The arm-chair draft gurus have given Seattle horrible grades on their last couple drafts, but in reality that team has stocked their roster and made themselves into a contender for the next several years.

But with Barron I wouldn't give up on him yet. Given the position he was put in as a rookie in this scheme, there was gonna be a learning curve. Still think the guy is gonna be a stud.

Should be a good game, Seattle getting one point.

Line is up to ATL -2.5 which is somewhat surprising to me. Given Atlanta's recent failures in the playoffs combined w/how well Seattle is playing, I figured the line would've stayed at 1 or possibly moved to a Pick 'em.

That is just home field advantage, its basically a pick-em

I get that...just saying that either a lot of people are taking Atlanta or Atlanta is getting a lot of money considering it went from -1 to -2.5.

Its kinda funny, I talk to people all the time, and everyone is talking Seahawks, Niners, Pats, Broncos......no one even mentions the Falcons.  And IIRC they arer the #1 seed in the NFC.
