List of Atlanta Falcons first-round draft picks
This list follows other FL Lists dealing with NFL first-round draft picks and I believe can be promoted to FL status. Bombig (talk) 11:20, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Could you remove the Table of Contents, it really doesn't do much here. Also the last sentence in the intro should be rewritten to read more like "No Hall of Famers have ever been selected by the Falcons in the first-round of the draft."  This points out that as the list changes, so could this statement (If a HoF'er ever does come out of Atlanta). The original sort of speculates that the Atlanta Falcons most recent picks aren't going to go to the HoF, which we don't know.  Also there are two instances (1977 and 1986) where the Falcons had two picks in the first-round, yet there isn't any note explaining how the Falcons received these extra picks.  There probably should be a note of a trade that involved those picks.  Fix those and I would be glad to support.  Gonzo fan2007  talk ♦ contribs 18:48, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Support I fixed two typos in the table that created an extra column but other than that it looks great! Good work.  Gonzo fan2007  talk ♦ contribs 01:55, 25 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment Could you add the eras to the table, like it was done in List of Green Bay Packers first-round draft picks?-- Crzycheetah 03:29, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Support but isn't there a better free use image? Vick is facing away from the camara for goodness sake. Buc (talk) 20:58, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Checked every page of the first-rounders and Vick's was the only one I found here. Since I'm not going to go out and look for one (as I don't know the free usage rules too well), Vick's is the best I've got. At least it has the Falcons decal on it. Heh.

 * Oppose I don't think n-c-systems is a reliable source. It seems like it is run by a guy who researches and provides all the info in his site. I mean he basically does the same thing that we do, but without providing references. I realize that many FLs already use that website as a reference, but there are so many nominations pop up that it's difficult to check the verifiability of the references in such short time. Unless that person is an expert in NFL whose opinion is valuable by NFL analysts, we should not trust him and his website. I believe this website is good to use as a guide, but not as a reference. If/When you remove these citations, your transactions are going to be left uncited; therefore, I oppose featuring this list. -- Crzycheetah 23:32, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
