Disagree - they are devoting something like 15% of their cap space this season alone, and a ton more next year, to a single position out of 22.

They should have just picked up Wentz instead of trading there draft choice or they should have traded for Trey Lance like the cowboys did.

As a Bears fan, thank you Atlanta for not trading out of 8. Helped us get Odunze :) My bias aside, I was initially baffled at what the Falcons were doing but the more I think about it, the saying is " The best time to draft a qb is when you don't need one."

Saying that Penix had to carry "lesser talent" is just objectively wrong. We watched it play out over the last 3 days. Penix's targets: 2 drafted in the top 40, and another in the top 100, plus his BOTH tackles went in rounds 1 and 2 respectively. 10 PLAYERS DRAFTED. Only 3 of those outside of the top 100. JJs top target went round 3... Just a few picks before Penix's WR3 went off the board. (Yes. I know the TE Loveland will be a high pick next year) 11 players from that team drafted. MOST on the defensive side of the ball. Roman, Corum and Zinter were the highest offensive picks besides JJ, all in round 3.

The league has shown it can't pick a QB and Harbaugh knows what he is talking about. I like Herd but how can he even say JJ had better targets than Penix at Washington?

The fact that Colin didn’t have penix to the Falcons in his mock draft tells you all you need to know about his analysis. Edit: People really don’t get sarcasm

​@Pogibearx Penix has had 4 season ending injuries what if he isn't good in 2-3 years

What if Kirk gets hurt

Kirk Cousins was the insurance policy for RGIII.

That’s where Colin fail to comprehend. He looking it just as the owner. He not thinking about what his is gonna do to the locker room

Couldn't agree more with this take.

Penix sitting behind a pro like Cousins is fantastic - so good for Penix - I think this was an absolute gold standard pick

Some of your points are valid but I dont think you can make the argument that Cousins might get injured again, considering Penix has had 4 season ending injuries, including tearing the same ACL twice. Cousins is 36 and more durable than Penix is

Preach it Colin! Rise up

Nobody was willing to move up to take JJ... except the vikings who moved up to take JJ...

1 year when Cousins has $90M guaranteed? He’s there for at least two years.

If anything, Minnesota played their cards perfect. They liked JJ, and it will work, and they kept their 2nd number 1 this year. And they have their first round next year. Why give up everything when you don’t have to? JJ will work, and it could work out big. He is a winner.

I love how everyone defends the Penix pick by knocking on Cousins. They say Atlanta was smart. Lol.

Was just about to leave thinking there was nothing noteworthy being said here when Colin says that Penix will be 'the best backup in the league?' Maybe. Maybe not. But to state it like it's a fact is just bizarre.

thanks grandpa collin. this really helped clarify that atlanta pick

Taking penix over McCarthy is so stupid, but then again they paid 180 million for Kirk 🤣🤣🤣

Total idiot. I noticed that too. Couldn’t take any more points seriously after hearing that.

If you don't plan on playing bad for the next few years, you won't be able to land a great QB. This is a smart move. Every great team drafts a QB when the team has a good QB. Look at the teams who dont draft a good QB when they are good, where are they now? Patriots, Giants, Raiders, Saints, Washington, and list goes on.

The problem wasn’t drafting Penix, it was signing Kirk to that ridiculous contract.

Nobody was willing to move into the top ten for the traded for tenth overall pick!

The problem wasn't the Penix pick, it was the Cousin's contract before the Penix pick.

I love Colin, always a passionate opinion...even when often wrong. First, Penix isn't ANYTHING but a LOTTERY TICKET until he plays in multiple NFL games. So Colin's insurance idea is specious. Second, absent a Cousins injury, Pennix will be 27-28 BEFORE he sees the field....and Pennix has an injury history. Third, the Rogers/Love situation is instructive, but not for the reasons Colin thinks. The Packers kept pissing away SUPER BOWL chances when they had a HOF/MVP type QB. It is criminal Rodgers has only been to one Super Bowl. But, that's what happens when they only use 2 out of 14 first round picks on offense (2 tackles)...and only one pans out (Bulaga). When you have a good-great QB you give him all the weapons and protections you can. Finally, the OWNER is turning 82 this season....does he want some happiness and glory of a Super Bowl before he dies? Or does he just want his team to have a CHANCE to be good when he's dead?

If your team building strategy is based off the potential of your qb getting injured, you probably shouldn't have paid him £100m guaranteed!

So you think because Cousin's is coming off a major injury it was a good idea to draft a QB with an extensive injury history?

Masterclass Colin

The Herd speaking facts while everyone else is freaking out.

“No one would move into the top 10 for McCarthy” after saying Vikings traded to get him at tenth💀💀

Cause he’s a stupid head.

Colin you know more than McCarthy’s coaches, teammates, fans who have been watching UM football for years….you will eat your words!

I dont agree with almost anything Cowherd said in this segment, but 66 QBs started last year, is actually wild

Ok there’s so much wrong with this analysis. The falcons weren’t gonna draft a “linebacker” at 8. They desperately needed an edge rusher and they had their pick of any of them at 8. Yeah a good backup is great, but at 8 that’s a bit rich for a backup.

Uncle Colin with the different POV - love it

The Flight of the Penix

Ok Colin just convinced me to be happy with my team's draft pick. I was highly upset at the time they drafted Penix but it makes a lot of sense now actually.

That picture of Kirk wearing the Braves paraphernalia is now absolutely hilarious

Thanks for talking me off the ledge. It makes sense to me now. Life long Falcons fan.

If the Falcons were so concerned about Cousins’ longevity, then why sign him?

Kirk Cousins will be 36 at the start of the 2024 season. Given that the majority of quarterbacks are backups or out of the league at 34, Cousins already is ahead of the curve. You can't expect him to be good at age 38, much less 40.

Has no one told Colin that Cousins has 2 years before it’s even really possible to cut him

It's not about Penix. It's about where they drafted him.

Uncle Colin just complimented every listener by calling us all great assets 🥹🥲😆😂

"Vikings didnt even move up to get him" They literally did. "Several teams wanted to trade into the top 10 for Penix, not McCarthy" How would you know? The teams attempting to trade up are not telling the other team who they're going after. For all we know they were all trading up for McCarthy. Embarrassing stuff from Colin today 🤡

Agree with your take on this 100%

The problem with this pick is, you will have to have two different offensive schemes. 1 for Cousins and another for Penix! Not the best idea!

I actually agree with this take. Don't be short-sighted. We could certainly be proved wrong, but right now I like it.
