re: Michael Lombardi destroys Falcon's GM

Are you kidding? You really believe the owner, who was in the draft room, didn’t know their #1 pick was going to be Penix? Come on man. And if the GM did go rogue he would have already been fired. Blank didn’t get to his position in life by being scared to make a decision.

They picked Penix because in their view he was the best play at a position of need. End of story. That he may sit for a couple of years is why the “instant gratification” generation is freaking out. There wasn’t a defensive player on the board who was worth a top 8 pick. Defensive players were very weak this year just like QB is going to be very weak next year outside of Beck. All this will come out in the wash. The Falcons will walk away with the South behind Cousins all while the long term QB is maturing.
