    And not to mention the system is stacked against the top guys, as they are more often than not drafted into failing franchises without the support to actually help them develop.

    So they end up succeeding in spite of those around them.

    Would be an interesting experiment to get in the time machine and see what happens if Mahomes was drafted by the Jets.

          Not to mention a particularly heartless and dare I say irresponsible use of a time machine

            13 picks into the draft, 6 QB in the top 12 (!) and not one defensive player selected yet.

            Shows how the comp is going - it's offense all the way

                Falcons paying Kirk big time ($180M, 4 years) THEN drafting. Remarkable.

                  some defensive steals going now.

                  Draft just showing what we already knew about the most important pieces in constructing a team
                  QB play
                  O-line to protect them
                  Difference making receivers.

                  Then edge rushers and smothering corners.

                      @mariner4life intersting aswell that they've also signed up LRZ as a pet project.

                        Falcons are an embarrassment of a franchise. Just egregious behavior.

                          I have read that Atlanta could lose their 1st round pick next year due to allegations of tampering (ironically for Cousins) so it could be a case of getting a better QB now. Cousins and Penix are confused though.

                            I thought that Cousins had signed a 3 year deal, so at first thought this was just the Packers move - draft in the first round, and sit them for three years while they develop. But nope, Cousins blocks the whole rookie deal (there is an option for the 5th year, but that's a much less significant discount and has to be exercised at the start of year 4.

                            Ultimately picks are judged by what they do on the field, so if he's good all this will be forgotten.

                              This comes days after they were crowing that Bill Bellichick didn't make their top 3 coaching finalists

                              What a clown show.
