Falcons to watch in 2009
Sam Baker -- The Falcons traded into the first round to pick the offensive tackle 21st overall in last year's draft. His first season was riddled with injury, which limited him to eight games. When he played, he offered fellow rookie Matt Ryan with solid pocket protection. He enters 2009 as the top left tackle, following Todd Weiner's retirement. Curtis Compton / ccompton@ajc.com
