re: What were the Falcons thinking?

Even if Penix is a solid QB this a terrible pick because the falcons just wasted a window of getting talent through FA & Trades on a rookie QB deal with cousins contract that they’ll be stuck with for at least 3 years. On the other hand if Kirk Cousins balls out you just wasted a potential top 10 pick that won’t see the field for 4 years instead having a player that could’ve help the offensive or defensive side of the ball on a team that’s in win now mode. Terry Fontenot might as well sign his resignation papers right now.
