Thoughts on the Falcons acquiring Asante Samuel?

Funny reading their board as most feel they are acquiring the second coming of Deion Sanders. These same people were flipping out when they signed Dunta Robinson and that turned out well. 
They ripped on all our acquisitions, so I'll have sour grapes and rip on their's. He's 31, and wasn't worth the money Philly signed him for. Idiot Falcon fans are saying he's their best corner, but I don't know of many teams who trade away their best corner for a late pick...you know, before they cut him.
So at the Falcons. Brees will carve them up as always and Grimes will try to break the bank as well.
But this is their time! Rise Up!!!

I'd have to see the contract they gave him, but it's a good acquisition for a low round pick. They have good depth now.

is this trade even official yet?

he can't cover colston, moore, devery, sproles, graham, and pierre can he? then it makes no difference really.

1) He's a good pickup for Atlanta assuming they don't give anything higher than a 5th or 6th rd pick for him.
2) Grimes just signed his franchise contract yesterday. So IF this deal goes through you'd have Grimes and Asante. Along with DeCoud and probably Dunta this makes a good secondary package. Not the best in the league but definitely improved.
3)
But wait, wasn't Lofton Atlanta's best LB? When the Saints got him it was like y'all raided and pillaged Atlanta and stole him?!
Hi Pot. I iz Kettle.
ETA:
He never looked good last year in Philly so he's either old and lost a few steps, didn't care or they had an odd secondary package with all those "super stars" back there.

He'll jump on some routes and get some picks but he also guesses wrong a lot of times too. Hopefully they will overpay for him

Very good corner in cover 2.
I could have sworn I read the Falcons were going away from cover 2, so it wouldn't make much sense to me this acquisition.

Good move for them but I don't think it will really matter much to us.

He's definitely better than what they have, I won't deny that, but they'll need much more than just that to compete with us.

I think it's a solid move for them. They go against us and now cam in Carolina now too so they need good corners

Good move for Atl, they've had a good offseason defensively
