Do you know the windfall of assets that pick could have gotten them? They could have even traded back and still gotten him.
This front office doesn’t know what they’re doing.

What do you think they could have got?
Penix was projected top 15-20 everywhere I looked. So they couldn't go back more than 5-6 spots and still be assured to get him, that's ignoring rumors other teams were trying to move up to get him. The Jets netted a 3rd and 4th (but gave up a 6th) to move back from 10 to 11. I can't see them getting better than a 2nd, at best, but who trades with and how are they confident that Penix is still there when they pick especially with Denver desperate for a QB at 12?

Teams fall in love with players. It's evident they really liked him and valued him as a franchise QB. So it makes sense to take him. The value of hitting on the QB position in the draft is unmatched..

He wasn't THAT valuable to drastically trade up for and maybe they tried.
But like Favrve being drafted by Atlanta, even Glanville said he'd never start....in a, "helll will freeze over" sort of way....Pennix was the best available.... And you can flip it. He's a commodity that they own the rights to even if he never starts. It's value now or value later.
