Fitterer needed to call Douglas regardless. 
 

It’s good for Fitterer to know where they stand with Darnold and if that 2nd pick is for sale

Bingo.  And he needs to call Detroit and see what they want for Goff, since they pick before us.  If you have some idea of the asking price, you can possibly gauge what they are thinking.

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

It's been mentioned before, but "in on every deal" was always likely to include some that fans aren't gonna like.

i guess it’s better than the mid-late 2000s days when they wouldn’t touch any player on the trading block bc “we build through the draft”, “we have 21 of 22 starters returning from our 8-8 team last year”, “there’s no place in our offense for a TE that doesn’t have bricks for hands”, etc.

It's good to be involved in all of these QB situations. Think about how many times over the years under Marty we'd hear about some player we wanted getting traded for way less than we could have offered, or better trades that we didn't even show interest in. 

Also, it's a great way to find out who else is involved and what kind of capital they're playing with. I think about what Rhule said about the GM interview process...how he would have paid for the information he got from all of those interviews. They're collecting data, and I love it.

What do we know about Darnold?  He was good in college, has struggled for 3 years in NY.  Threw too many interceptions, but when you are one-dimensional, always playing from behind, passing is tougher. He will be 24, and he is on a first-round rookie contract for 1 more season.

So what would he do with a better coach, OL, running game, and defense? 

Better. 

Is better enough?

I wouldn't even offer them a half eaten ham sandwich for Goff.

I looked it up and he threw 26 TDs and 13 INTs in 14 games in his last year at USC including 2 INTs in each of the first 3 games. For his career at USC he had 22 INTs in 27 games (24 starts).

And playing for Gase cannot be understated. That man could turn a diamond into coal.

      Yeah, banking on his hands, vertical, height etc. Thing is we have a processor with an average arm, not a gunslinger so he might not even get those 50/50's to even show what he can do. XL has some of the same BY issues, if he doesn't get some 50/50 throws his way he's going to be stuck catching a lot of expected shallow crossers aka dinks and dunks

      Really like him. He will be great for Bryce. I hope he doesn't get a lot of push off calls as he did that on some of those catches.

      Everyone talks about how important it is to draft a QB in round 1 and have the "5th year option" I haven't seen it play out the well over the past several years. The good/great QB' aren't playing the first 5 years under their original deal.  After year 3 or 4 they are getting mammoth extensions. Having Penix take over in year 3 may actually save the Falcons some money over the next 5 seasons. I doubt they'd give him an extension after his first year as a starter if he took over the starting position after the guaranteed portion of Kurt Cousins new deal ends in 2025.   In terms of playing time, Penix 3 years as a starter would be ending with the 5th year of his rookie deal (assuming his option was picked up). The money Penix would be making in year 5 of a rookie contract would be significantly less than the upper echelon 5 year starters are making now.
