Pennix is 24 years old. If Cousins plays 3 years, Pennix will be 27 before becoming the starter. That coupled with his injury history and how he fell apart in the face of pressure makes this a bit of a head scratcher for me.

They also needed pass rushers and had their pick of them at the pick.

Then you also have Cousin’s who can’t be happy that you are picking his replacement instead of somebody who can help him win now.

I have no problem with the pick. Pennix is not NFL ready right now and needed to go somewhere where he would be in the bullpen for most of his rookie deal. Like Jordan Love. He gets that in Atlanta.

The problem is that they apparently didn't tell Cousins their intentions. They just said to him that they would be taking a QB at some point, not that they targeted Pennix. According to Diana Russini, he's not happy about that.
