Doesn’t look like WRs are going to fall. Carolina could have a good pass rusher fall in their lap tho 

It’s not a bad thing.

QB can play till their 40s now lol 

Sure, but making this pick is basically a clear signal the plan is to play Cousins until they can dump him without a massive cap hit and move onto Pennix.

I haven't looked up Cousins exact contract, but I'm guessing it will be at least 2 years until they can do that, and unless he's literally winning MVP's or getting them to the SB, they'll move on from him even if he can still be a starter for a few more years.

It's the Rodgers/Love situation except Rodgers was better than Cousins, not a late first round pick used for the QB, and not right after they signed Rodgers as a FA to a big contract.

Just a really weird selection all around.

cousins on a 4 year deal and penis is already 24 years old lol, really just a stupid pick

He's only guaranteed 100 mil though. Not that that's nothing, but after a couple of seasons, they can probably get rid of him if they want.

Not even close to the same player.. more like Rodney Pete vibes 

You didn't watch him play then.  He's not quite as slippery once out of the pocket, but he can move.  Penix is more of a polished pocket passer than Vick was.  He's a sneaky good athlete though.

Rodney Peete was never anything special.  Poor comp.

The Falcons taking a QB in general here is dumb

But they just took the QB who turns 24 in a couple weeks and now will have to sit for at least 2 season I'm guessing.

If you're going to take a future QB knowing they'll have to sit behind Cousins for a few seasons, why are you taking the oldest guy of the bunch?

So dumb

The Falcons are gonna lose picks when the NFL does the investigation on the whole Kirk Cousins tampering deal so I can see why they went ahead and took a QB now. Take the guy you like now because you'll be too good with Kirk to be picking that high and you'll lack the capital go trade up.

We essentially built a great offense in Chicago.

Jets about to get the steal of the draft with Brock Bowers.

 

Rodgers will have plenty weapons around him.

Disagree the top three guys were always going in top ten.  Key is what happens next and if you get a run on receivers at end of first.
