DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION 2024 Draft Day LIVE Discussion Thread Day 1

I have to respectfully disagree with BB here… Maye did a good job identifying and reading defenses. He needs to fix some mechanical issues but he’s very bright.

Ross he was not great reading defenses. I got this straight from one of his coaches but its also what I saw. But yes, he's a bright kid
with a great work ethic, so this is something he can learn.
He'll have the time to do it, he's not going start this year.
Yes the primary mechanic issue is his foot work.
Watch tons of film and work on the feet.
I'll assume our OL and wr group will be improved in 2025 so we could be ready to LFG!! then.
He's got a very high ceiling

What does BB say about this?

He says they probably could’ve traded back and still got him. Says it’s high for him, but he thinks Penix is a good player.

Probably wanted to say, I wouldn’t have done that if I was the Falcons head coach.

That would piss off Rodgers
He hated when GB picked Love

I mean, that was almost half a decade ago and he’s openly talked about retirement. He’s also coming off a serious injury…

 

[raduray]

Excited for Bo Nix to fall to the Ravens so they can get the best QB of the draft just because that’s what they do

I was hoping Nix could go first so that I could post "Team Nixes Penix". Alas...

 

[Kdo5]

Lol nobody really believed in JJ. All smoke and bait

Vikes will take JJ but holy F if they don’t.

 

[Since1960]

Atlanta!! Are you kidding me? Give 180M to a QB with ONE playoff win (Wild Card no less) and then draft another QB when you are desperate for defensive help? Not to mention, declining the opportunity to hire perhaps the greatest Coach of all time! Gonna be a loooong time before you’re dancing during your next Super Bowl Arthur!!

 

[varjao]

Cousins must be livid

 

[vicspats]

Go eat your pudding Bill. It’s past your bedtime, gramps.

Easy slugger …

 

[50-yard-line]

Can’t say I saw that coming

They’ll be smiling in a couple of years. Penix is for real.

Gold,
Thank God that’s not us.

They are begging Atlanta hired Bill.

 

[Bill Lee]

Watch Belichick just say outright “wow whoever the Atlanta GM is is ****ing ******ed”

The guy next to him said almost that exact same thing!

Bill hinted that ATL could have traded down and got him.

 

[The Gr8est]

He was located counting his hundreds of millions of dollars

Maybe Atlanta can trade Cousins to the Vikings.

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

Good the Jets don’t get Odunze

 

[sb1]

New toy for Williams… Odunze

 

[Force Zero Boomer]

Penix almost hurt himself standing up

 

[Thunderhead]

Absolute coup for the Bears, holy ****.

 

[ahmed]

I think Penix will be best QB from this draft. You read it here first!

 

[VJCPatriot]

Vikings moved up. Looks like they just don't want to get jumped for McCarthy.

 

[Delicate Genius]

oh boy.

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

Once Odunze was picked
Jets immediately traded their pick
