I didn't plan on taking a ILB for them, but with the saints signing lofton, it's now a need.
In the 7th round of the 2012 draft, the Atlanta Falcons select:
Carmen Messina, ILB, New Mexico

The Falcons lost their Pro Bowl kick returner and part time receiver (to Chicago, of all places). I would have considered James Rodgers as a replacement. James is an excellent receiver and a great returner. He's short (but thick) and coming off of a knee injury but I think he would be worth a late 7th compensatory pick.
It doesn't hurt that his brother is already on the team.
