And with the 48th pick in the 2008 Arrowhead Pride Community Mock Draft, the Atlanta Falcons select:
Oklahoma CB Reggie Smith
Chris with the pick:
With CB DeAngelo Hall now an Oakland Raider, it makes a lot of sense for the Falcons to use their third pick of the second round on a solid cornerback. The current bunch of CBs and DBs on the Falcons are extremely young, meaning a player like Reggie Smith could step in immediately amidst the current competition.
A first-team All-Big 12 selection, this is about the time in the draft that most have Smith going. A good value for the Falcons third pick of the second round.
