I probably would've taken Sparano as well, but I am totally fine with the pick. Ya Atlanta won more games last year, but look at how much disarray that team was in. The Michael Vick dogfighting saga hanging over their heads all year. Their head coach quitting on the team in midseason only to be found accepting the head job at Arkansas the next day. The Falcons were an absolute mess. To go from that to the play-offs in one year, in the hardest division in the league no less, is nothing short of remarkable.
