Falcons got a 1st rounder for Favre (who was picked in the 2nd round) and I think he only took 1 snap in his one season in Atlanta.

Maybe the Falcons want to trade for veterans....

And not just draft picks.

If they were going to trade for a veteran, don't you think they'd have traded the pick on or before Thursday night so the receiving team could make their own decision with the draft pick?

They aren't trading Penix. The front office is absolutely smitten over him to the point where they apparently think they can pay him $60M/year and still win with him. The ONLY way this pick works is if Penix becomes some mashup combo of Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, and Vick. They seem to think he is so good that they don't need to take advantage of his rookie contract years to put a roster around him.

In other words, this has a .000000001% chance of working. There is a better chance of 6th round WR Casey Washington working out than there is of this pick working out. The word value apparently does not exist in Terry Fontenot's used car salesman lexicon.
