Penix has to become Mahomes level good for this move to work.
My favorite part of this whole saga is that people are justifying it by automatically making Penix one of the top QBs in the league when he starts years from now.
I'm a fan of his, but what if he sucks arse? It feels like that never comes up in the discussion.

If the Falcons didn't feel that Turner was worth a #8 pick, the move should have been to trade down and get another 2nd, or multiple 3rd round picks and stock up that way.
Trade down to a lower 1st round pick, take the best DL/edge available at the time, then draft another in the 2nd, and so on. I actually think they did pretty well with the rest of the picks, but the Penix pick just doesn't make a whole lot of sense with Cousin's new contract.
Maybe they're planning on cutting him after year 2 when Cousin's payout would drop to $12.5MM from $40. Or they'll use Penix for trade bait, but either of those is just way more risky than trading down for more picks.
