If the falcons took McCarthy at 8, it wouldn't be that weird because he's young, high upside, and could use 2 years to sit. But Michael Penix is 24, at earliest he'll be 26-27 when he gets on the field unless they think Kirk is going to be injury prone.
@@vinylrichie0070 chance penix starts week 1. Ryan Pace tried to sit Trubisky behind Glennon and Fields behind Dalton. Falcons gm fully believes that penix will sit behind cousins this year
@@commanderjoj6426yeah, I think that could be the main reason, but it’s hard to understand why they picked Penix, when we could have got Jared Verse, Dallas Turner, or Laiatu Latu, it makes honestly no sense
The weirdest thing about the Penix pick is that if you want to take a developmental guy who won’t start for 3 or so years, 21 year old JJ McCarthy was right there.
Absolutely insane draft. Everyone drafting QBs handed over great defense players to teams that the league surely did not want to allow and then the Chiefs surely got their guy. It really is chalked. I imagine that this will go down as an awful class purely because of how many top 15 guys there were
I like your take on Bowers as I feel the same. Bowers, imo, is an elite prospect and as long as the Raiders have a plan for him, he can be ultra-productive
The worst part of the Falcons pick is that he’s just not that great of a prospect. Even if they never signed Kirk, taking Penix at 8 is wild, you could’ve had an elite prospect to fill a hole on your win now roster, but you take a low ceiling old injury prone Quarterback?
@@jay-r-raider3119 terry fontenot. in the 3 years he's been here, he's reached in the first round every time - bijan robinson, drake london & kyle pitts - all taken too high. he straight sucks.
Seems like they are taking a similar approach to the Packers with the Rodgers and Love picks... but it's very different when you're grabbing a developmental QB prospect in the mid 20s as opposed to the top 10. I guess, if Penix becomes an elite QB in 3 years, they'll be happy. Strange decision
@@reecypeecy9909 Yeah but he's 3 years younger and doesn't have the injury history Penix has. Plus I think he could benefit from sitting behind Kirk Cousins.
I don’t think is the worst, I like that we picked Penix, but is hard to understand, specially because we just payed a 36 year old a 100 million guaranteed contract hahahaha
The Falcons grand plan was probably to take a QB next year, however because of tampering they're convinced that they're going to forfeit next year's 1st (which means they know they're super guilty). So they just went ahead and took the highest QB on their board now. It's like bad on top of bad decision making.
I get the initial reaction of shock for the Penix pick, but looking at it now it feels fine to me. Kirk is a large contract, but if the Broncos taught us anything, QB contracts are moveable. And with how many games Kirk wins, they will not be drafting high for a QB until he is gone. So this is a chance to focus on the now with Kirk and the long term future with a QB talent many teams reportedly tried to move into the top 10 to draft. This will be a draft pick that will age well like the Jordan Love pick from a few years ago.
Moveable? Their roster is going to be garbage because they're not even benefiting from the qb rookie contract. If that's what you took from the Denver situation, go back to school.
A first round pick imo should always be on a guy you're planning on starting day 1. 2nd and 3rd round guys are guys who you think would have a legitimate chance to earn a starting position. And 4-7 are the guys who you think you can develop, or you picked them to have a decent backup. There is no reason anyone in their right mind would have picked Penix at 8 after paying Kirk what the Falcons are paying him.
I think the falcons might be thinking that Kirk Cousins is someone who can take them to the playoffs, but not make them a true contender. They prolly think that Penix can develop for 2 years and take them from a playoff team to a true super bowl contender.
My take. Gutekunst really is going out on a limb. Gute took the #7 OL picked in the 1st Round when he had the options of the Top RB, #2 DT, #2 LB, or #3 Corner (all positions the Packers are looking to pick in this draft). Arguably passed on two better ranked OL in Guyton and Barton. So, he drafted the 9th ranked OL with an injury history on his knee. I don't know about anyone else but if Morgan isn't a perennial All-Pro then that 25th pick was a massive opportunity missed to get a special player at a position of need.
I was shocked at the Pennix pick, at first. But if you consider the real world reasons, it makes plenty of sense. Arthur Smith just got fired because he didn't get a QB. Raheem Morris is an AA Coach who has been fired before. He's not going to get a 3rd chance, and he knows it. Hes making sure he can stack wins now and in the future and in case of injury to t QB.
If that’s the case why would you get the most injury prone qb in the class who is also 24, no long term upside causes he’s old and no standard for consistent play cause he’s injury prone. Absolutely horrific pick when Byron Murphy is on the board and their best dtackle is 37
@@ebowden1168so your saying they no other qb can get hurt coming form collage to the highest level of the sport with more athletic faster stronger and smarter players. Who’s to say Caleb will work out it’s Chicago no fan has anything to say about the quarterback position
morgan was Gute’s first offensive player other than Jordan Love that he’s taken in the first round. the only 2 offensive players taken between Aaron rodgers and jordan love were bryan bulaga and derek sherrod
If the Falcons grabbed JJ, they would have a young qb that’s not already in a certain form. Also I really like the Pearsall pick. I think he’s more like Samuel than Aiyuk, but I like Ricky because he is athletic, tough, and can beat the hell out of man coverage. That’s what prime Deebo is.
As a Saints fan, I couldn't be happier with this round. We got an amazing tackle, and the Falcons got a QB to sit on their bench for the next four years😂. FTF!
As a falcons fan, I’m not mad at the pick, I’m more confused than anything, it’s weird considering the context that Atlanta has right now, that they didn’t wanted an Edge Rusher is ridiculous, I just hope Atlanta gets Braden Fiske, or even Tevondre Sweat, maybe getting Cooper DeJean in second round which I doubt, I don’t know how to feel about this hahahaha it was weird hahahahaha
i heard the falcons are trying to do the jordan love thing with penix but they should’ve waited they could’ve got sanders or ewers next year who are younger and wouldn’t have to sit through the kirk contract as long
As a Washington fan, I’ve watched Michael Penix for the last two years and he’s been great and I’m not surprised he’s a top ten pick but the Falcons picking him is truly baffling
As a Vikings fan, if the falcons took JJ McCarthy at 8 id understand that way more. Very young qb to sit behind cousins. Taking a page out of the packers book. And me personally I really like penix as a prospect and would've been fine with having him over JJ. So if I'm being honest. What if falcons and Vikings end up doing a trade of QB? (Maybe even Vikings getting picks since falcons would most likely be the ones initiating it.) Something like what happened with brees and rivers
It was Rivers and Manning. What makes you think the Vikings actually want Penix? And if the Falcons wanted JJ, they could have taken him. Smoke less weed.
At first I was a little disappointed in the Bowers pick, but ya know the longer I've had to think about it I'm pretty happy with it. For once we took a player that was a consensus top 10 pick, and I'll take that.
Terry Fondoe might have said the most unintelligent thing I’ve ever heard. If penix doesn’t see the field till year 4 or 5 WHY DRAFT HIM TOP 10. He’ll be damn near 30. If I worked for Atlanta and was in that draft room I would’ve walked out and put in my notice
Falcons should’ve traded back got value and take a qb in the second round, they messed up my colts board we could’ve trade up with them and got rome or bowers would’ve fell if they took another position like pass rusher, the raiders took bowers cause he was best available and didn’t know what else to do when even they could’ve moved back and got a corner or something
Please make a video like last year where you rank each first round pick from worst to best and thanks for all the hard work you put in, deeply appreciated
I think Vikings picking Turner at 17 should be shocking. Not so much that they need him. Rather that he was still there. He was supposed to go to the Falcons at 8 (part of the Penix effect).
Niners fan here. I can’t believe we wasted a pick on a WR at 31 when Guyton was still sitting there right before Dallas took him. We have 10 fucking picks TRADE UP TO GET A DAMN LINEMAN. I’m so pissed man wr was not a need
Idk if we learned anything from the 2023 season it’s the value of the backup QB. If you can have a solid QB on a rookie contract why not? When Cousins gets hurt, and in the next 4 years he will. The script will flip on this pick…
Falcons should have given Kirk a 2 year deal and roll the other years if Penix doesn’t work. McCarthy was on the board and would have been better for the falcons. Younger and would be 25 when cousins deal expires…..
I'm an Eagles fan who moved to Atlanta 2 years ago. The Falcons haven't done a damn thing to win me over in that time. They make moronic picks every single year. Smdh
People flamed the Bijan pick last year and it turned out decent, and it’s only gonna get better now that Arthur Smith is gone. The Penix pick won’t be a bad pick. People who say we should’ve picked JJ don’t know ball hes overrated
Best player available. Also they can coexist on the field at the same time. Bowers is a slot TE like Kittle or Kelce and Mayer is an inline guy like gronk. This is going to create all the mismatches and help the no qb situation
Safety or corner at 8. If safety, we have a lot of depth and maybe we could consider a move to inside linebacker. If corner, let's move this aging guy to safety.
Its weird how we say its fine for the Raiders to take another TE and doesnt mean anything about Mayer. Then when SF takes a WR it means they're getting rid of someone else.
Mayer has no trade rumors surrounding him and they will not use bowers like a te he will be a slot while mayer takes on the safety blanket blocking te role
Falcons were just sitting there with their Penix in their hand
💀
You’re wild for this one
Hahahaha
BAHAHA
The Penix move feels like Atlanta was playing Madden and let the AI do their draft
They let the Madden mock drafts decide who they take 😂😂😂

Cant believe the Falcons took an unsolicited Penix Pick
I still cannot believe that the Falcons took Penix. The Falcons FO tried to outsmart themselves
Penix will be 27 years old, time Kirk’s contract expires.
28 the start of the first season post kirk
Penix will play when he’s ready regardless of the Kirk situation. Someone’s losing their job at the falcons when that happens 😂
