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

Exactly.  This makes absolutely no sense at 8.

@Basbear good call so far…Penix there is very surprising 

I heard great stuff about him, but I did not have him going 8 to ATL!!

I heard he was a 1st lock and form 12-32. Then about 3 hours ago I seen where 12 was too late, but still not 8th!?!?!?!!? 

Some teams had him 2nd overall, real teams.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
