Happy with our pick. Wanted Olu but it is what it is.

Like what the Chargers did.

Like what the Vikings did even though I don’t like JJ.

I think the problem is that if the Falcons got their QB of the future, why did they just pay $180 million for a lame duck QB??? Would the Saints have a ring if immediately after signing Brees, they drafted Matt Leinart too instead of giving Brees a weapon in Reggie Bush? Would the Bucs have a ring if immediately after signing Brady, instead of using their 1st round pick on Tristan Wirfs, they drafted Jordan Love? Sure, Love would be great for the future, but they probably dont win it all in 2020 without Wirfs. How many rings did the Packers win with Favre after drafting Rodgers, or with Rodgers after drafting Love? How many rings did the Ravens win with Flacco after drafting Jackson, the Eagles with Wentz after drafting Hurts, or the Chiefs with Smith after drafting Mahomes. The fact is, once you draft a 1st round QB, you give up on winning it all with your veterans starter. Giving up on Cousins before he plays a snap after giving him $180 million is a financial disaster, and for all we know if they got a Wirfs or Reggie instead and Cousins plays well, maybe they could have won it all.

Not sure it really matters. Atlanta isn’t winning a Super Bowl with or without Kirk Cousins. Kirk isn’t Brady. Kirk is Dak Prescott. I think they were sold on him being the QB then the head coach saw something he really liked in Pennix. And as far as financial disasters are concerned, they never really seem to matter much if you ask me. This could have been their plan all along. Pay a veteran for four years and go the Aaron Rodger’s route with a rookie QB.

How old is Pennix again?

23. Evidently we tried to trade up for him. Atlanta playing keep away. We missed out.

Thats a satisfactory pick . We really need to shore up the RT position with the news about Ram not sounding good lately.

So what are we looking at for days 2

T'Vondre Sweat looks a interesting pick for me. Pretty boring as he isn't going to appear on a stat sheet but 6'4.5 and nearly 370lbs good luck moving him in the run game, and a decent size to block passing lanes

The ready now tackles look done, someone like Kiran Amegadjie gets talked about as a future starter

Maybe a guard like Cooper Beebe if they traded back

Tyler Nubin

K Major · 04-25-2024, 11:52 PM

I’d consider DT, DE or possibly a WR (Coleman) on day 2.

It looks like we found our replacement for Cam's energy and leadership. He seems like the kind of man that people gravitate to and want to be around.

We got a Polynesian to pound the opposition. Sweet!
