'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.
