Not my draft.
Two interesting points of note here: 1) They have Miami trading our 32nd overall pick to Detroit for DT Shaun Rogers. Personally, I think that's way too high. 2) They have Atlanta giving the #3 and #34 overall picks in 2008, plus the Falcons second rounder in 2009 for the Dolphins #1 overall pick in 2008.
This presumes the Falcons land the #3 pick overall, which won't be determined till the Combine with a coin flip. As this is a mock draft, there is no mention of any discussions between Miami & Atlanta in regards to a trade at this point. However, they are in different conferences, which is never a bad thing when contemplating the possibility of a trade.
This person's speculation has me intrigued. I'd much rather have the #3 and #34 than #22 & #28, given the choice. We could attempt to trade the #3 again if we wished, maybe moving down just into the 6-10 range, grabbing a player we like and picking up some more picks in the process. Or stay where we are and take the best player not snatched up by Atlanta & St. Louis at the #1 & #2 spots.
Some might say there's no reason for Atlanta to do this, because if they stay at #3 (coin flip) and Miami goes defense (likely) they are assured of either McFadden or Ryan. Miami and Atlanta are both bad teams right now, but Parcells isn't aching for a star right now--just good players. Atlanta had a mega-star and now he's in the slammer. Last time I checked, there were a whole lot of #7 jerseys in the crowd in Atlanta. They need a star for marketing purposes and they need a star to help erase the stigma of the Vick situation, possibly even more than they need to win right away... although ideally they'd like to do both.
Should the Falcons fall in love with either Ryan or McFadden at the Combine & private workouts, and they have a strong preference as to which one of them is the star they need and a potentially great player to boot, they might not want to get whatever sloppy seconds fall to them. They are a team, unlike Dallas, that needs to make a splash. And moving up to #1 would certainly do that.
