Submit ReviewThe Atlanta Falcons' bold selection of Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft caused a stir around the NFL. Host Aaron Freeman explains why the team made that choice and how it will increase scrutiny on Falcons head coach Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot. He discusses why it's such an unprecedented move for a team to draft a quarterback that high and plan to sit him for more than one season. Later, he discusses the "opportunity cost" for the Falcons in terms of not drafting a player who could help the team win now and make the playoffs immediately. He compares it to the same issue that has plagued the Green Bay Packers the past few years after drafting quarterback Jordan Love instead of trying to win a Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers. Finally, he explains why the Falcons making the playoffs is the only way to avoid further scrutiny. He breaks down if they match up with some of the few bonafide playoff teams on their 2024 schedule: the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, and Dallas Cowboys. Do the Falcons need to add more firepower on offense, improve their pass rush, and upgrade their secondary in order to close the gap?
