re: Why do so many people refer to SUVs as "trucks?"
Posted by Gravitiger on 4/26/24 at 6:00 pm

[quote]Penix isn’t a project. He played 6 years of college ball with a ton of reps. He is either ready right now as the elite talent you think he is to take him at 8, or he never will be.[/quote]This. He's not a high-upside project you draft at #8 to sit and learn behind Cousins for two years. He is...

[quote]Did you think Nix would go at 12?
Or 6 of the first 12 picks would be QBs?[/quote]Yeah. That was the pick for the Broncos in a bunch of mocks (and it was still a shitty pick).
I thought 5 of the first 12 picks would be QBs. Literally no one besides the Falcons had Penix at #8....
