Picking Penix is surely questionable today given the Cousins signing and other player’s available who seemingly make you better in 2024.
But if (and that’s a big IF to me because I don’t expect Penix to be a great NFL QB) Penix turns out to be a star it’ll look like a brilliant pick down the road. Maybe he becomes your starter in 2 years under a rookie deal and Cousins backs him up? Rodgers sat 3 years behind Favre, and GB sure looks smart grabbing Rodgers with a hall of fame QB still playing well. Of course the risk at a pick in the 20s is more acceptable I guess.
That’s the beauty of the draft, you can end up with Tom Brady in round 6 or Jamarcus Russell at 1.1.
As a Saints fan I hope Penix is terrible. Although I wish the guy health and happiness he’s a Falcon now.

You can’t judge a decision on the outcome that’s 20/20 hindsight. No matter how Penix turns out it was an awful decision to draft him that high AFTER signing Cousins to over $100M guaranteed. It’s not at all like Favre/ARod, for 1 they already had Favre they didn’t just go out to get him and 2 Rodgers was a possibility to go 1-1 but slide in the drafter after SF went with Smith.

quote:Penix on a rookie deal means absolutely nothing now considering your paying cousins 100 million guaranteed. They’ve totally blown that window, they can’t make a Tyreek Hill/ Christian Mcafferey/Trent Williams type of trade with QB’s still on rookie deals.
