Michael Penix Jr. drafted by the Falcons at No. 8 | Pat McAfee Draft Spectacular

Bill is cracking up at Mad Mel….you can tell he was having fun. Nice to see for a change Coach ….keep having fun!

This panel feels like a bunch of kindergarteners with one old wise man and a 5th grader moderating it all on the right lmao

Bill did this with Garoppolo

Falcons, the best in the NFL at disappointing the fans

He will 28 years and 3 months when he starts

Falcons and 49ers have the same draft team😅

From the beginning the Falcon. Will have a better chance to win with Michael.......

Penix deserves the pick. I wouldn't rule out him being the best quarterback in the draft. But the decision is inexplicable. If they were going to take Penix, they shouldn't have signed Kirk Cousins.

its hilarious Bill said they could have traded back because that’s exactly the type of thing he would do lol

i think its gone be another nick foles jags situation or aaron rodgers jets situation... only difference is falcons will have a better back up. My opinion its a smart think ahead type of move from the dirty birds.

Belichick dodged a bullet by not getting hired by the Falcons. If he sits for 3 years behind Cousins, he'll be 27 when he starts. I love Pennix, but he's ready to play now. This was a head scratcher.

The fact that people judge a draft pick 5 mins After it happens is probably one of the dumbest mindless things I’ve ever seen in sports. The reason why people are mad & vocal is because it didn’t match up with their stupid mock drafts. If people knew which players were going to end up being good then why did Tom Brady get picked in the six round? Why did Joe Montana get picked in the third round? You people are idiots who think this is a stupid move. Let it pan out and then we’ll see.

I can see why BB didn’t get a HC job imagine if during his falcons interview, he thought Penix was a Midfirst round pick and management probably had Penix 2nd QB on big board

Normally I would agree that this pick is strange and unexpected. But Penix is the best thrower in this draft. It's not even close. And I believe the Falcons know already they are going to be docked next year's number 1 for tampering to get Cousins. So if you look at if from that perspective, they couldn't draft a first round QB again til 2026 and it would cost them a ton of additional draft capital to move up (Assuming Cousins plays well and they are fighting for playoffs each year). There was zero chance Penix was falling below the Raiders at 13, so to have waited would have netted them no chance to draft him. Course on the flip side, it is the Falcons and nothing much ever seems to work out for them.

Hide yo dogs, the Falcons drafted a black left handed mobile QB

Bears had paid Mike Glennon then traded up to take Mitch Trubisky at 2nd overall

These guys are so stupid

Bill probably is in his mind saying “f*ck this team, they didn’t choose me as their coach.”

Once they see what Penix did for the last 2 seasons no one will think falcons made were stupid.

Just B4 Covid he had Uni of Indiana in the 🔝 15. They beat Tua when he was @ Maryland. The kid can play 🏈

Nothing against Penix...I had him #2 QB. But this is a dumb waste of a draft pick with SO MUCH talent on the board. Why create drama? Just dumb.

The falcons finally stopped relying on a single qb. Now they get all this flack cuz he black

There’s all NFL teams, and then there’s the falcons…

It's just the 1st round. The scouts job is to find talent that fit the coach's philosophy in all rounds of the draft. An organization should not be forcing a pick that is a position need. Draft value and sure up your guy if he is your guy. Defensive talent was not that great in the 1st round people.

I think Penix is the best qb in the draft. Caleb williams and jj Mccarthy will struggle.

Cousins got $100m guaranteed AND a no trade clause😂
Lets see how these geniuses make this work in Atlanta.

Yall act like he didnt lead the league in passing yrds

If Penix becomes a superstar, Fontenot will look like a genius. If he's a bust, Fontenot will get fired. No gray areas when it comes to the draft.

The one position that can take a team from 3-14 to 14-3 is quarterback. Nobody wants to miss out on a Mahome's type QB. Even my team Denver after the falcon's pick decided we better take our QB now.

Atlanta is done.... lost and just stupid.

Falcons has to be one of the dumbest franchises in NFL

Green Bay did the same with Roger’s

I can't believe how straight up racist these takes are. Just because Penix is black means he's a bad qb, huh?

So Jim Harbaugh passes up J.J. McCarthy to draft . . . OT Joe Alt. {BUZZER} WRONG ANSWER JIM!! Maybe you can still snag Blake "THE GREAT."

It’s a perfect pick. Kirk is under a two year guarantee deal and he’s a dog. Let Penix learn from Kirk and the Shannahan system and build his body so don’t have any injuries no time soon. Penix has flaws rn that can be fixed and develop. By year 2 he’s going to be a legit dog to be the future of the franchise. This is Kirk’s last contract so he’s giving these next two years his all and won’t mind riding off into retirement while helping Penix lead the falcons.

Black GM wants a Black QB not some white TE gotta protect Pitts stats...

He could be the second coming of michael vick

Falcons will always be terrible

Teams gotta realize each draft your lucky if 2 qbs wined up having 10 year careers

We haven’t seen a QB successfully come back from an achilles. I think Penix is the day 1 starter then they have a dilemma on their hands when he plays well and Cousins is ready to come back.

Atlanta saw Dewrag and drafted.

When the Falcons are in the Super Bowl in three years everyone will be doing the Maye-Trubitsky comparisons.

😂😂😂😂😂

Is Matt trying to Mel kiper

Defense wins championships, while offense sells tickets and video games.

if they wanted a qb to mold they should've just picked JJ.

As Hodge has said some picks just get you fired…. This was one of those picks.

The problem is not necessarily the pick but where the Falcons picked him. Like Belichick said. Could of traded down got your QB and added another pick/picks in the process. Just felt like they could've leveraged their pick better if this is truly what they wanted to do.
