With the NFL draft eight days away, ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. expects the Atlanta Falcons to be movers and shakers in the early portion of the draft.

The Falcons hold the eighth pick after moving up two spots in the Matt Schaub trade with the Houston Texans.

Kiper believes Calvin Johnson, a wide receiver he has rated as the top player in the draft, would help quarterback Michael Vick and the Falcons' offense.

I know Vick doesn't have the best arm, but he never had a star receiver on his team in Atlanta.....Calvin Johnson is suppose to be one of the best wideouts coming out in a draft ever, so it would make a lot of sense to move up......However what would it cost them?

They would have to get atleast ahead of Tampa Bay to have a shot at Johnson, and that's no sure bet trading with Cleveland.
