After a brief hiatus, our good buddy Greg Cosell of NFL Films, ESPN's NFL Matchup, and Shutdown Corner is back to talk a little football. And with more than a month passed since the draft, we thought it would be interesting to review that selection process by division, now that teams have given a bit of insight into how their new players will be used. We've already covered the NFC West , AFC West , and AFC South . Now, we'll move to the NFC South to see how the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers did with their selections. On the Atlanta Falcons' first-round pick, Washington CB Desmond Trufant: "I like him as a player. Now, Jamar Taylor from Boise State, who was a second-round pick [of the Miami Dolphins] I liked a bit more, but I liked Trufant as well. In the games I watched, I thought Trufant showed the ability to play press man -- that doesn't mean that he doesn't play off coverage better, but I made a note that his ability to play press was an attribute that could get his drafted in the first round, and obviously he did. He's a versatile cornerback; he can play outside and in the slot. Overall, he plays fast and shows excellent range. One thing that stood out to me when I watched him against USC was that he easily ran with Marqise Lee from press man position. We know that Lee's likely to be a top ten pick, he's a big kid with great speed, and I didn't think Trufant struggled with him." On the Carolina Panthers' first-round pick, Utah DT Star Lotulelei: "They really needed some defensive tackles, but their nickel front was really good, and they do have some underrated players. I think Lotulelei starts at defensive tackle, but he can play any defensive tackle position. He won't play end in a 4-3, but he can play multiple d-tackle positions, and he did that at Utah. He's somewhat nimble for a man his size. He's big, but I don't think he's as big as a lot of people initially think. When we started looking at him, we thought he was a really big guy, but he's about 310-315 pounds. What I liked best about him was how agile he is for someone who's built more like a big guy than a sleek athlete."
