Kirk Cousins isn’t happy with Atlanta’s draft choice

It’s an all time bad pairing of moves to so aggressively chase cousins that you’ll receive tampering penalties and then overdraft a guy at 8

Agreed.

[LabattBlue]

Cousins should be pissed.  What a screwed up pick. 

[NORWOODS FOOT]

$100m guaranteed….. shhh….

[wppete]

That pick made no sense at all. Horrible pick 3even though i like Penix. Penix got screwed also, horrible landing spot for him. 

[BuffaloBillyG]

It's a weird move but Atlanta likes to make a splash night 1 of the draft. 

 

Honestly, not feeling bad for ol' Kirk. Guy has made a ton of money including $100M from Atlanta guaranteed. He gets that no matter what. Plus with the investment they made in him I'd say he's got 2 years in Atlanta. By that time he's 37 and likely at the end of the road anyway. 

 

Not only that but he is 35 and coming off serious injury. No telling of he's going to be the same.

All my Falcons friends are upset right now.

 

Its a $65 million dollar dead cap hit in 2025.  Surely you would want your 1st round, top 10 QB to start by his second year.

Breaking: RG3 pissed that Washington drafted Cousins in the same year as him.

I am wondering if Blank has a problem with Minny ownership and was saying FY

[NeverOutNick]

Great pick! Penix is a fantastic QB prospect. The not great part is not being upfront with Cousins about it. 

[DCofNC]

Really don’t understand this one.  I thought maybe it was a draft to trade agreement and maybe it still is, like Adams and next years 1st to the Falcons, for him, but otherwise the pick seems dumb.

Penix is a 6th year college quarterback 

 

Who has major shoulder surgery... And a reconstructed ACL 

 

Great college player and I really do hope the best for him as I do all players.... 

 

But man... I didn't have him in my top 45 or so players

[Chicken Boo]

Kirk is absolutely right, but it's also not his team to run.  

 

...or is this one of those made up stories?

2 ACLs.

Cousins is the ultimate garbage time QB.

[Captain Hindsight]

I like Penix. He is a lot like Tua and I think he could be a successful QB. But drafting him 8th overall when you signed a good QB in the a win now move makes little sense. There wasn’t a position that could help you win a fairly open NFC. Odunzie/Bowers/OT,/DE?  Nope, backup QB.

 

Very strange move 

[transient]

Hey Kirk, what do you think of the draft pick?

 

[BillMafia716ix]

Very confusing decision. It looked like Arthur Blank was just as confused as everyone else was. 

[MJS]

Cousins sure knows how to make money. Wouldn't it be crazy if they move on from him next year and he is available to sign with ANOTHER team to start? He is like the GOAT when it comes to shaking down the NFL for money.

 

The secret is to be good, but not too good.
