I'm a Falcons fan, and former STH.

I would have much, much, much preferred any of the DEs or LBs at 8, and Rattler in 4th rd.

Penix isn't elite. He's not worth this kind of luxury pick. And it pisses off your starting QB, who you literally just signed.

I hate this team so much bros.

Penix was deemed as the best passer of the draft and as a better prospect than Maye by many. Many who argue it was a bad pick concede Pennix is worth a top 10 pick but just wasn’t the “right” pick for Atlanta. There’s no such thing as a “sure thing” in the NFL draft when it comes to QB, but the chances of finding a franchise QB outside of the top 10 picks are so slim and the likelihood of Atlanta getting another top 10 pick in ‘25 or ‘26 is very slim.

They have a 35 year old QB who’s essentially on an 2 year deal and a top 10 pick rookie QB who they can develop in the meantime. It’s close to a perfect situation but since people haven’t seen this exact scenario before and everyone thinks they’re Billy Beane capable of allocating resources with maximum efficiency they can’t help but all join together and pretend to be “smarter” than giving yourself a great QB situation.
