Matty Ice gets nod as Falcons' greatest success on draft day

Hard to go with anyone other than Matty Ice, who restored some credibility for the franchise in 2008 as the No. 3 pick from Boston College on the heels of Michael Vick going to prison for dogfighting. Ryan has started all but three games over his 12-year career, earning four Pro Bowl appearances and the NFL’s MVP award in 2016, when he led the Falcons to only the second Super Bowl appearance in team history. BEST SECOND-ROUND DRAFT PICK: G R.C. Thielemann of Arkansas was the 36th overall choice in 1977 and quickly established himself as a stalwart on an offensive line that would power the Falcons to the first three playoff appearances in franchise history.
