Willy Mo Always Ready! We all have grown to love the former Missouri Tiger in our defensive back field. When healthy he is a Pro Bowl caliber safety for the Falcons. Moore has played both SS and FS well for Atlanta. I envision Dan Quinn loving his versatility and high football IQ in the new head coach’s scheme. Atlanta should look forward to a bounce back year from Moore. Otherwise, how can he afford his opulent lifestyle? He has a swimming pool and a palm tree in his living room!
Grade: 93, A
2009: CB Christopher Owens, San José State (90th Overall)
Owens was a decent rotational corner for Atlanta. He would spot-start on occasion in a depleted Falcons secondary. The former San José Spartan has bounced around a bit since leaving the Falcons after 2012. He is now a free agent last playing for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Grade: 77, C
