I'm cautious with this update. A "few weeks" can turn into a month, can turn into him coming back too early like last year. If this team is in contention in November, hold him out as long as possible for a playoff push.

You have to be certain the hamstring is healed.  You can't take 90% and pray it doesn't strain again.  CMC will want to play but we've got to be certain.

Don't see why we don't put CMC on IR and use his spot for someone else. 

They are likely still examining to see just how bad the injury is and will evaluate how long they will keep him out. IR has a mandatory 3 week wait period (correct me if im wrong) so they're likely waiting...

Hope that heavy college use and us riding him into the dirt hasn't caught up… Time to be on the safe side and draft a 1st round RB. 
 

 

Sure!  Right after we shore up our oline with first round LT.  We probably could actually throw a late first at another lineman the year after.  About this time we'll want to put another high pick into the dline.  And I imagine somewhere in those few years there will be a can't miss guy that falls to us that we take because BPA.

Only  7 of the top 10 running backs in 2020 were picked after the 1st round. I'm going to suggest that if we want a RB, we trade down and get our 2nd round pick back and use that on a RB.

Top 10 RBs in 2020

  • Henry - 2nd round
  • Cook - 2nd round
  • Taylor - 2nd round
  • Aaron Jones - 5th round
  • James Robinson - UDFA
  • David Montgomery - 3rd round
  • Nick Chubb - 2nd round
  • Josh Jacobs - 1st round
  • Melvin Gordon - 1st round
  • Zeke - 1st round
  • Pie 1

    • 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.
