Falcons improve NFL draft position- The Atlanta Constitution

The Falcons are my favorite NFL team. The Falcons made a miraculous turn around from last years season (4-12) and made a run at the playoffs. They met the Cardinals in the first round and lost. Even though there are hard feelings between the Falcons and Cardinals, the Falcons are thanking them for making it so far in the playoffs. The Cardinals helped give the falcons a higher selection in the 2009 draft. The falcons will have the 24th pick in the 2009 draft.
