This is the only thing I can think of. I don't have Kirk's contract in front of me so I can't understand the machinations, but my guess is they view Cousins as the starter this year and next and then Penix takes over as early as year 3 (but maybe 4th)?

I guess.  Won't Penix will be older than Cousins by then? :)

I think Atlanta is playing with fire.  I don't like moves like this because it is a lot of resources to invest where something bad has to happen for it to work out.  Like what they are betting on cousins getting hurt again this year?  

I am sure Cousins has a no trade clause in that contract so they will have to release him.  You know what this likely means...cousins might be able to squeeze out 1 more contract after they let him go.   But he has to be unhappy with this.

In a few more picks, our window opens for maximum potential trade-up, so maybe we get back into the game.

I think 36 + 40 potentially gets us up to 15ish. I suspect that’s about as high as we could possibly get.

Yeah, I have him mocked to the Jets at #10. Gonna be pissed that they could've just stayed put and helped my draft entry out

I had the same thing. Bowers to NY at 10 and McCarthy to the Jets at 11. No loss here I guess since its unlikely that anyone mocked a QB to the Jets or a OT to Minnesota.

The guy just went that I would have done that for

So 5 qbs picked in top 10 picks.  

Interesting that these qbs went to really good situations.  Unusual.  Washington and NE probably the weakest.  The #1 pick went to the best situation.  JJ gets JJ.  Penix gets all those untapped weapons offensively but he will sit.

I’d think long and hard about Fuaga. Guy is an absolute animal.

But…that’s a pretty steep price. I’d probably rather do 36 + 67 for Mims than 36 + 40 for Fuaga.
