2024 NFL Draft - Round 1

Somebody go check on the falcons board PLEASE

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

well.  They have an older  qb

they like him

next two drafts, qb low ranked

might be a smart move. Sit and learn

They couldn't move back to 10 at least with the Jets? Get something?

I could understand if they traded down and grabbed him. Not at 8

Bizzare move by ATL. Unless they think Cousins isnt gonna last much longer. In which case, why pay him that much money??

They couldve just signed some random Vet QB for minimal money, started him a few games and thrown Penix in.

[CPF4LIFE]

Imma say this, this is just more pressure on bryce to get his poo together soon before penix is ready because I do like him. 

[Raleigh PF]

Wonder if ATL has a trade setup to send Penix somewhere else.

You pay Cousins 180 M and then spend your first on a QB LMAO.  Someone should be fired.  

Probably covering themselves in case Cousins doesn't look right after the achilles injury.

Honestly, that's the way to do it. Draft your guy and let him learn as the backup.

And by the time he finish learning, he’ll be in his 30s

Exactly.  This makes absolutely no sense at 8.

[MrBubba]

Wonder if they told Cousins up front.  Can't imagine he is happy

[LinvilleGorge]

If Caleb Williams flops it's 100% on him. He's setup better than any #2 overall pick QB maybe ever.

Penix gives the Falcons Vick vibes.

@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.
