'We need to overpay OGs to protect the QB after spending all that on a QB' also the same people 'Using a recently injured convert OGs at C is fine because we always have an UDFA C' Sure sure makes total sense. -
One of the experts on NFL network made the point that NOT taking an Edge (they were predicted to take one--Dallas Turner was the popular pick)--they are preventing themselves from getting an edge on a rookie deal for 5 years. That (in a roundabout way) increases the cost of having Penix on the Bench. Not only do you have about $60m (the rookie contract is about $9m per) invested in QB, you have to pay a veteran or count on rookie third rounder Bralen Trice to do the job Dallas Turner could do--and I really like that pick----Essentially, at least in the short term, you hurt the team by picking a reserve QB for at least 2 seasons. By signing Cousins, the Falcons announced they are in "Win Now" mode. His window is closing. SO why use a first rounder on a pick that will not help you until 2026 at the earliest? I just watched a video on the Falcons--they have their area scouts and coaches selling the pick to the fans--that gives the appearance that the was consensus--I think they are all pissed. -
The Corbett hype and assumptions being made by many here give me an uneasy feeling all too reminiscent of years past. Anyone remember that line "the answer is already on the roster?" 👀 How'd that work out for us? We've had some awful center play since Kalil retired. I'm not sold on hopes and dreams about Corbett. But this is the gamble we've made. Regardless I will accept no excuses for poor QB play this season with the overall investments that have been made. We need to see improvement and trips to the end zone. Make it work.
