Guys I hate the Falcons as much as you do but they have a young offensive nucleus. They are thinking two years ahead what their offense will look like if Penix works out. They have seen what GB has done with Jordan Love growing into that job sitting behind Rigers. Now Penix can learn behind Cousins while they are still competitive with the vet at QB. If I was a Falcons fan I wouldn’t necessarily be real mad at that pick.
Saints were probably thinking the same thing if he sits behind Carr. The difference is the Saints would have had to spend serious draft capital to move up while Falcons could sit pat.
Ask yourselves this question, if both work out who will be more valuable to their team in 2026, Penix or Fuaga?
