As moronic as the pick was, I do somewhat respect the balls it took to make a pick they knew would make them a (bigger) laughingstock. If Penix is good, they will have the last laugh.Originally Posted by thethe
I am with zbhargrove though. Maybe if this team had done something in recent years to earn the benefit of the doubt, I would meet them halfway.

I will say that next year is pretty bad QB year. It's not 2022 level bad, but it's close to 2019 level, where there's really only 1 or 2 QBs that are considered top 15 overall players. And there isn't a sure fire No. 1 overall level QB either. JJ McCarthy probably should have stayed 1 more and as long as he stayed injury free, he would have no doubt been QB 1 in next year's draft, instead of QB 5 in this year's draft.
2026 draft could be special though, with 9 QBs who were ranked inside the top 100 overall recruits in the 2023 class.. Nico, Manning, Moore, Arnold, Nelson, Avery Johnson, etc.
I would say Jaden Rashada, but we know he isn't getting playing time at UGA unless he's a walk-on.

As it is. We've picked 7th or 8th 3 years in a row after picking 4th and only 1 really looks worth it (bijan). Just a masterclass in ****. The fact we aren't worse than we are is baffling. But honestly if you wanted a QB in the draft and you were sold on Penix. Then don't sign cousins sign multiple edges to improve our rush. And give Penix a **** right away.
Apparently Seattle, New Orleans, and the Raiders all tried to trade into the top 10 to pick Penix... I truly think the Falcons were hoping to trade back into the first to get Penix late and then freaked out when he started becoming a popular commodity.

Beck will be the sure fire #1 QB by the end of the year.
Most likely. It's speculated him, Sanders, and Ewers. But it's worth noting all 3 could have come out this year and opted not to because they weren't regarded as top 3. Many didn't think theyd be top 5.
I think Sanders is the biggest media smoke screen ever. He's 100% me first, he's not near as good as he is hyped up to be, and the only reason he is even talked about as one of the better QBs is simply because his dad is Deion. Will be interesting to see if Ewers can make the bigger jump this year.
The Falcons tried to trade back into the first to pick up Latu... I would have felt alot better about Penix if we could have come away with Latu... Edge is just not deep at all in this draft. I feel like you have to hit WR/CB/DT with the next few picks since those spots continue to look deep and strong in this draft. Then you just hope Ebiketie (forgive the spelling) and Harrison continue to develop as pass rushers. Ebiketie grew quite a bit last year and Harrison put up 3 sacks in his only 2 starts at the end of the year. But man, that's a risk.
