Hello Michael Turner, goodbye Warrick Dunn

The Atlanta Falcons signed Michael Turner to a 6-year, $34.5 million deal today. The move makes Jerious Norwood the logical backup and most likely puts Warrick Dunn on unemployment. It also significantly decreases the chances that Atlanta will draft Darren McFadden, who now may fall to the Oakland Raiders at #4. Gulp. Atlanta could be looking to bring in Matt Ryan with the 3rd overall pick. The Falcons seem doomed to walk the Earth with a below average receiving corps, but if the second of those two moves take place, they'll have sured up their QB and RB position for the next half decade. Nice start to the post Bobby Petrino era.
