FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Quinn said a chance remained for the team to address offensive guard on Day 3 of the draft. The Falcons did so by adding San Jose State's Wes Schweitzer in the sixth round, a selection picked up following a second-round trade with the Houston Texans.

My take: It looks like Schweitzer is a really intelligent kid who spent summer internships studying the effects of atmosphere chemistry. He plans to earn his PhD in chemistry. That's great and all, but let's see what he brings on the field. The former standout high school wrestler gained 80 pounds between his junior and senior years of high school to play football. He started at left tackle at San Jose State the last three seasons. The Falcons spent time during the draft process working out lineman who were capable of playing tackle or guard, so obviously Schweitzer fits in that category. If he can run and is tough, he'll get a shot to compete. The Falcons are not fully sold on their guard situation, particularly on the right side. Veteran Chris Chester was re-signed to a one-year contract but is coming off shoulder surgery with no definite timetable for a full recovery. Mike Person, the starting center last season, might get a chance to compete at right guard, but he's not the answer. Schweitzer said the Falcons view him as a guard/center. He played for current Falcons assistant offensive line coach Keith Carter, who was San Jose State's offensive line coach/run-game coordinator.

Spartan love: This is the second consecutive year the Falcons have added a late-round pick from the San Jose State Spartans. Last year is was cornerback Akeem King, who showed some flashes in limit duty as a rookie.
