Draft is tonight, finally.
Link for my dude.
I predict JJ McCarthy and Caleb Williams flame out and are no longer starters in two years.

I tend to agree with this.
Holy shit, Penix to the Falcons?
definitely a head scratcher.
wonder how kirk cousins feels
I like Penix a lot and was hoping he'd be available in the 2nd and the Jets could swing a trade to get him. Never guessed he go top 10, and certainly not to the Falcons.
Really wanted Odunze to drop to 10.
Vikings trade up 1 spot with the Jets.
I assume McCarthy...
OT, I'll take it.

Buffalo badly needs a WR, trades back multiple times to out of the first round completely, three more receivers get selected in mean time.
There’s some people, mainly on the Falcons subreddit, defending the pick because Cousins is old and technically you can get rid of that contract after two years anyways and by that time Penix will be ready to start.
Meanwhile your star QB you just signed a couple months ago is completely blindsided by all of this so that’s great work.

First he throws beer at a fan and now this? Sensitive much?

And Love was younger than 24. And the Packer GM wasn't stupid enough to "justify" the pick by saying that it's actually a good thing if he's on the bench for 4-5 years because that means they have an abundance of riches at the QB position.
Like, PROTIP dude...if your early first round draft pick is riding the pine 4-5 years in at the age of 29, odds are you'll be unemployed unless you have the magic combination that Minnesota didn't possess that magically turns Cousins from FANTASY NUMBERS, DOOD! into an actual consistent winner.

Tepper is the gift that keeps on giving. I mean, if he was the owner of a team I cheered for, I wouldn't think this, but as someone who DGAF about the Panthers, he's great. An incompetent dude who also is super thin-skinned and super proficient at self-humiliation due to how his thin skins causes him to lash out like a little bitch? HELL YEAH!!!
And after Dan Snyder got the boot, we need Tepper to take his place as the biggest little bitch owner in the sport. Hopefully he takes a page out of Snyder's book and snaps up major Carolina media outlets so he can dictate how his team is covered.

Other than the fact that the Falcons just signed him, should Cousins really be surprised they did this? He's not exactly a spring chicken.

I think he should be and stand by it was a stupid pick. They’ve addressed numerous offensive positions in the first round the last three years with Robinson, London, and Pitts. They could have addressed their miserable defense with whatever player they felt was the best. And they had to have known going in that was a possible scenario with all the QBs, WRs, Alt slated to be picked ahead of them.
Instead it’s “let’s get this guy we’re going to need him in 2-4 years when he’ll be 27.”
I understand following the Green Bay model but can we see more than one year of them and Love being successful before we mimic it?

True, but I think if you're a veteran QB who has a history of being a starter who at least puts up numbers going to a new team, you probably want the team to address needs that will help you to have success in the first round. Not snag your potential replacement. If I'm Cousins, that kind of feels like, "You're good enough to tread water, but we're actually gonna work to build for this guy. Have fun!"
Jets have to draft a WR today. A trade up into the 2nd would be nice.
