@@ddwalker3744 they sold out but a lot of times I was there and MAYBE 3/4 of the stadium was filled. This was before Shanahan was the coach though.

It will keep happening. NFL is an offensive league. So from now on, you take offense in the first round. Defense can be filled with 2nd and 3rd rounders.

Getting a generational WR talent at 6 > reaching for a QB at 6 yet again. Especially for JJ, who has the EXACT same issies as Daniel Jones. Giants did the right thing. Imagine if the KC Chiefs sold draft capital for Marcus Mariota in 2015. Of all the QBs available at 6, drafting any of them would have been a mistake.

[@johnohrstrom5112]

I heard an explanation on the Falcons pick that actually makes sense. With the team they have currently, within Cousins, they don't expect to be in the position to draft a QB that they have rates as highly. If they're picking in the 20s in a few years they'll have to trade like 3 1s to get a top QB. I can see the rationale there. Especially if you don't love anyone on the board otherwise. Would I have done it? Probably not but I can see that logic.

U gotta think, yes the falcons need pass rush, but essentially we are a qb away from competing. And it is a hell of a lot easier getting skill position talent in free Agency than it is QB.

[@deepfry1655]

The improvement Jayden Daniels showed with an even worse defense than Caleb, compared to Caleb absolutely throwing in the towel this season, shows that Daniels is a team player and Williams is not. If the Super Bowl isn’t a clear path for Williams he’s not playing. No one wants to play for that guy.

[@WDManns]

Saying that we will never see this many offensive players selected in the top 12 ever again is most likely incorrect. NFL has favored offensive talent and penalized defensive talent for a couple years now. It only makes sense for teams to start picking offense first in these drafts now that defense is arguably meaningless to an extent. I agree and miss the old style of the draft but im afraid it’s now too late to reverse this issue.

[@broduce6535]

I remember the chiefs drafting a guy in the top 10 to sit behind a successful qb and I don’t recall all this commotion. Didn’t hear people saying maximize the time you have with Alex smith

When you disarm the defense the way the NFL has, I expect way more offensive heavy first rounds going forward.

[@terryi.6973]

Atlanta trying to win now with Cousins and also plan for the future with Penix, Jr. Falcons believe that with Kirk Cousins they will be vying for the playoffs. He is also on the north side of 35. Yes, Penix is almost 25, but sitting for 2 years (maybe just 1) under Cousins Penix will not be rushed and will have time to develop. I don't think it's as much as a shock Atlanta picked a QB with #7 this year. It's a gamble, for sure, but when will they have this opportunity again?

I like it. The hardest position to secure is the QB position. If you have been dealing with the Riddlers and Heinickes of the world, you would want to secure your QB room as well.

Im sure you know this but the point Bo Nix was trying to make was, he grew up loving Auburn football just like we like Alabama football.

Not saying that isn't a loser mentality but he knew already what the SEC fanbase was like.

I think that if the Falcons really love Penix that much to take him at #8, they plan to get him on the field much sooner than 2 years from now. They might regret the Kirk contract at this point and wouldn’t mind eating some of that money if they have to trade him. Expensive strategy but it could work out.

@MattBeGreat can you do a video on Chris Thompson fsu RB who could have been the next great and he was my coach so if you could that would mean a lot

[@avantesmith6442]

The only reason I hate the Falcon’s pick is because they probably put themselves in the worst position. No matter how much they try to spin it. All that dead cap money to Kirk if he gets hurt or if Penix takes over….which makes it harder to build around either dude in the future. I understand the long term view, but damn you could’ve saved that money if you knew you’d end up taking a QB.

[@johndavis9321]

Even if you wanted to draft a QB for insurance/a QB of the future deal why not take McCarthy instead he's younger (and therefore can afford to spend a few years holding a clip board) , has an injury history much less substantial than phenix and has a higher upside I don't know I don't hate the pick just felt their were better QB's available for what the falcons appear they wanted to do hell I'd argue trading way down and picking rattler at the end of the second round would have been a better decision than the move they made

[@SirBogan_]

I agree with the falcons pic cousins won’t be there after 2 years so in the long run giving him that money guaranteed money will be a lesser hit on the cap 3 years from now

[@jamestate5059]

What is wrong with taking a QB you think has a lot of potential amd let him sit for a couple years and learn how to be a NFL QB? This was the normal way to operate back 20 years ago. Don't throw him to the wolves, let him learn. I have no clue why people are freaking out over this.

[@fbg_mushroom2630]

Hello @mattbegreat huge fan I’ve been watching your channel for a couple years and enjoy your takes (you might even hear yourself in background of a few of my madden shorts) but to be 100% I disagree with this one and kind of disappointed in you take on the Falcons 8th pick. I’m not going to act like it didn’t surprise me because it did I wanted Dallas turner too but I can also look at the pick and understand it from a business perspective and tbh we should seen it our new HC Raheem Morris even made it know he like penix. I honestly believe that in short the Kirk deal was to give us a qb for now and tbh it was only meant for a 2 year deal as in this year forsure he’ll start but penix is sitting behind learning and developing. Giving him the opportunity to sit and learn, in year 2 penix can compete for the starting spot but still not expected to take the spot but come year three which would be 2 years behind Kirk he should be able to thrive as the starter and we can go from there whether trading Kirk cutting him or having him stay and teach.

[@fbg_mushroom2630]

Also to add on look at Kirk’s career he’s great in regular season but only 1-3 in post season, penix could have a moment. Mahomes type moment when he was sitting behind Alex smith. Now I’m not saying he will be better then Mahomes or even as good but you can look at it as a potential opportunity (anything could happen🤷‍♂️)

[@fbg_mushroom2630]

Plus we just drafted a DT in 2nd round

[@avantesmith6442]

I think folks are missing the nuance: 1. In this day and age, picking a QB in top 10 is usually day 1 starter range. Pat is one of the last superstar QBs to frfr sit and learn. 2. What was the point of signing Kirk to a large contract if you were gonna draft a QB that early? Let’s say Penix balls out and takes the job earlier than expect, you have 60 mill this year and over 40 million next year in dead cap owed to him. What weapons can the Falcons get him, with that much money tied up for the next 2+ years??
