Kirk Cousins May Be More Hurt Than Thought

Things we knew about Atlanta before the draft: their defensive front seven is terrible. Their offensive line needs a lot of help. They desperately need a real threat at Wide Receiver.

Players available when it was Atlanta's turn to pick:

Rome Odunze - WR
Brian Thomas - WR
Xavier Worthy - WR
Olumuyiwa Fashanu - OL
Taliese Fuaga - OL
Brock Bowers - TE
Laiatu Latu - DL
Byron Murphy - DL
Jared Verse - DL
Dallas Turner - LB

The only way it makes sense for them to pick a QB is they found out something was wrong with Cousins recovery. The Achilles is a very serious injury, often career altering injury and it happened to his right foot; the plant and pivot foot for a right handed thrower. Rodgers' Achilles injury was to his left foot, which while still important is nowhere near as vital as the right for right handed throwing mechanics.

Atlanta dumped a ton of money into a 35 year old injured QB and then turned around and spent #8 overall on a project QB. Fontenot's spent a ton of money on a subpar roster for a coach who... checks notes... has a career .350 win percentage which is worse than Dennis Allen.

Simply incredible.
