Damn I wanted him

I did too. Feels like Gibbs from last season.

Falcons just goof up they waste money on Cousins then get Penix.

No kidding. That was stupid!!!

 

[Risen Star]

If I got drafted you would probably see me get up and hug Rockport.

 

[America's Cowboy]

All because we know Dak is never going to get it done. He's never not gonna choke. Time for new blood.

Dak isn't the problem. Kurt Warner, Cole Beasley, Troy Aikman, Darren Woodson, Rex Ryan, etc all said the same.

 

[HungryLion]

Call the Raiders now. Dak is available.

It would be so sweet to see a draft day trading of Dak. But it ain’t gonna happen.

Real leadership. They picked the best on their board even though they signed Cousins

 

[Pentagruel]

Pretty shocking to me. They have other needs and to use a high first round draft pick on a QB when you just paid one mega-bucks is crazy. If they had like pick 30 and you take a flyer for the future it makes more sense but who knows.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

There's the Falcons with the first reach

 

[nate dizzle]

Smart pick. Penix gets to sit and learn for a few years behind a proven vet. It's called having a long term plan, even when you have a qb, and it keeps Cousins uncomfortable and on top of his game instead of never having pressure of losing his spot

 

[jwitten82]

why though?this pick doesnt make sense.

Kinda does, He can sit behind cousins for at least two seasons, maybe less and learn. Cousins is 35 and will be 36 when the season starts

Michael phenix
Drake London
Bijan Robinson
Kyle Pitts

Falcons last 4 picks in round 1

Stupid pick. They need help on defense not help holding the tablet for Cousins smh.

 

[DFWJC]

I like it, Cousins is older and just an injury away from Penix who can sit and learn while he waits.

Yeah, that is a succession pick

 

[J817]

Wow he gets hurt every year. That’s what you want in a top 10 pick.

 

[Adreme]

Real leadership. They picked the best on their board even though they signed Cousins

So real leadership is either lighting 40m a year on fire or drafting a 24 year old player to hold a clipboard for a couple years when you have massive needs on the defensive side of the ball?

 

[Motorola]

Malik Nabers is a problem.

Luckily for us, the Giants still have Daniel Jones throwing to him.

Remember that’s Danny Dimes.

Only for half a season...ACL injury in early November.
And the Giants' GM has inferred Jones is gone in 2025.

 

[KingCorcoran]

Wow!!! First reach of the draft

Looking ahead. Gives them time to find a great right tackle. Or trade Penix to some team.

 

[Carson]

Smart pick. Penix gets to sit and learn for a few years behind a proven vet. It's called having a long term plan, even when you have a qb, and it keeps Cousins uncomfortable and on top of his game instead of never having pressure of losing his spot

I get that. But he just signed a massive 4 year deal. It’s not like he’s one a one or two year deal

 

[805BoysInBlue]

Kinda does, He can sit behind cousins for at least two seasons, maybe less and learn. Cousins is 35 and will be 36 when the season starts

Isn't penix almost 30 himself?
