If Spoon were really their man, the Falcons would have been much wiser trading down and getting an additional pick regardless the round because Weatherspoon would have lasted until day two, thus saving Arthur Blank millions. There is no question that Spoon is a physical specimen, but he’s hardly a forceful, impact player one wants in an "urgent" defense. "Solid" is a good adjective to describe him. "Exceptional" is not. I lived in Missouri last year and if anyone needs proof, simply watch the Mizzou film and notice how infrequently his name was called.
