What ryan poles did with what ryan pace left him is incredible. Especially with that trade last yr, he turned last yrs first into sooo much. I've been a bears fan my whole life and I can't believe we are in this position. Now all we have to do is win. 🐻⬇️😤

Every year: "Philly had an amazing draft!" Every year: *Philly relies on old players and mid season trades*

As a Bears fan, I can't remember ever having an offense this explosive. Closest was the Brandon Marshall/Alshon Jeffrey days and even then, that team still wasn't as stacked as our current squad. 🐻 down!

I don’t understand in an era when who your quarterback is matters more than ever before you wouldn’t prioritize the position by signing a quality free agent and drafting a solid prospect. Cousins himself was taken the SAME DRAFT as RG3, as insurance (and what turned out to be a smart move) Love was drafted with Rodgers as a starter. Mahomes was drafted I believe the year after Alex Smith went 13-3.

The issue with Atlanta is not drafting Penix. The issue was giving someone 100 million guaranteed for 1 playoff win in his career. Hes had Justin Jefferson, Stefon Diggs, Adam Theilan and prime Dalvin Cook in his career and only could muster up one playoff win. And your trying to tell me hes gonna elevate a roster of younger players when hes older coming off of an achilles tear. It was a bad decision signing him for that money

Orlovsky loves giving the Bills credit whenever he can get the chance 😂

orlovsky with another generational switch up, he just said Friday that jj McCarthy’s situation is better

Love how they didn’t even have Penix over JJ and because he was picked now they trying to act like he is the second QB in draft.

ITS SIMPLE - the cousins singing wasnt a good signing, its really that simple lol

You can try to explain it until you’re blue in the face. Giving Cousins $100 million dollars AND drafting a quarterback top 10 was dumb

Im happy the falcons said F you to the fans and media and did what's best for their franchise. Penix is the man

Their entire argument on the Bills-Chiefs trade was that the Bills gained more picks while trading back, but they didn’t gain more picks? They swapped picks and moved up a little in the draft, but they didn’t actually ADD more picks 😂

Seeing these guys talk about my bears like this, that means it all ready changed.

Giants added two solid starting offensive linemen in free agency. Do your research Greenie

Falcons playing Franchise mode on All-Madden 😵‍💫

Did everyone forget Kirk tore his Achilles?! We don’t know how he’ll play

Dan O has consistently been putting out worse and worse takes as time goes on

Hey Dan are they a rookie qb away from winning a chip? You want someone who can contribute at 8th overall this year.

🐻🐨 Bears ALL the way 👣 🏈🏈

I’m happy there’s some smart people in sports media that gets the KC and Bills trade. Mike and so many others make it seem like it was such a crazy move because of the “rivalry” between the 2. Buffalo made the move the helped them out because they weren’t going for Worthy and was able to move up in the draft.

I wish Mark Brunell had a veteran QB to talk to early in his Jags career. Don't think he learned a whole lot from Rob Johnson after Buerlein got jealous of Mark and quit on the team.

Mike T actually said something positive about the Bears that’s wild

Keon gone be another kelvin benjamin

Go birds! Solid draft n free agency. Still time for more moves

I don’t hate them for taking penix. But at 8 with Kirk freshly signed, it’s not consistent

People overreacting to the Penix pick like he's going to start week 1. Dude is most likely going to "Jordan Love" his rookie contract. Kirk has nothing to worry about unless either he's not ready to go week 1 or he shows that he's not worth the money he signed for.

The process makes ZERO sense. There was no chance that Penix would be taken by your pick, if you thought he was that great you could have had him and not given this much money to Kirk

Orlovsky defending the Penix pick is on brand for him. The Falcons needed a pass rusher. But that was their top need, not their only need. What is he talking bout?

Having a qb sit a year or two has worked well for the packers. I’m sure it could work for ATL.

what this draft told me was that the Raiders and Giants are banking on Jones and Minchew to show some life while they tank for Shedeur Sanders because they think he’s a franchise QB

Dan O trying to convince people the Penix pick was good is wild. Football is played by real humans not robots. They will have a QB controversy or a trade request from one of their QBs by next off season. Book it

I think the Penix pick was the best pick. The other players on the board weren’t worth reaching for. Having a 2-QB system is a way of the future. One can play in one quarter and the other in the next. It gives Atlanta many viable options to succeed. I watch a lot of football so I know this

How anyone can defend what Atlanta did is baffling 🤣

The Falcons GM legit seems like one of those people who thinks he is smarter than the rest of the room. That arrogance has led to a series of dumb decisions

I'm glad that dude responded to the Bills "giving" the Chiefs Xavier Worthy. If the Chiefs liked him fine, there are plenty that didn't think he was that good.

Great pick for Atlanta. QBs are getting hurt every day nowadays . Cousins is currently hurt

Dan o always wants to sound like he smartest person on TV

Who'll have the better rookie season Marvin Harrison Jr, Rome Odunze, or Malik Nabers?

They build around Caleb way better then they did Field’s the Bears finally doing the right moves

I feel like the draw straws before every show, and whoeever draws the short straw has to defend the really bad take - and every single time Dan Orlovsky keeps drawing the short one every show lol

5:01 thank you Dan 👏🏻

Kirk is a 35yr old QB coming off of a torn Achilles he was always a bridge QB. $50mil APY is the going rate for starting QBs Atlanta made a smart decision drafting Penix.

The Eagles Getting the Top 1 & 3 CB’s in the draft is crazy

Ain't no precious nothing picks go wrong all the time

There’s NOBODY that throws like Stafford freak rubber arm man side arming throws like plumber but somehow have perfect arc to wide receiver, and spin

ESPN could've hosen better personalities for draft takeaways honestly

Hey Mike, maybe if you prioritized qb’s a little more you would still be a GM

the people complaining about the falcons having two decent QB on roster didnt watch much falcons games last year or teams that lost starting qbs.

I think it was a chess move.. I would rather have him on my team than my division rival. Plus who knows with Kirk’s injury..

What's being missed is that the Bills have to evaluate is anyone else trying to jump the chiefs to take Worthy? If not... Bills Miss out on a 3rd, A team behind them gets extra picks and the Chiefs get Worthy anyways.

Everyone drafted in the first round is going to be a perennial ALL-PRO. LOL They should do this on April 1st every year.

I wouldn't have told kirk cousins who im drafting. Did he tell them he were going to throw them under the bus in his press conference ?

Kirk Cousins is 36 with a bad achilles. He plays 2 years and they have a physical stud ready to take over. Penix will be 27 when they kick Cousins to the curb. Come on guys! If they didn't draft Penix next year you would be harping that the Falcons didn't have a succession plan when they knew Cousins was old and injury prone.

Bro dan o said it correctly. Hype hasn’t been around a qb a place since luck. If he can be like luck without the injuries oooo wwe my team gonna be up there with San Fran soon

Greeny is right, the Bills should’ve taken Worthy themselves or told the Chiefs to Shove it.

Falcons could’ve had Justin Fields for a 6th rounder…. Used FA to bolster their defense.

Dan is SPOT ON.

You can’t possibly justify the Penix Jr pick imo

The penix pick is not a bad pick!!!! Dans right, that’s the hardest position to fill in football!!!! And the cousins deal is really a two year deal they don’t expect him to stay four years!!!! And who ya gonna get any cheaper??? I mean ya wanna give yourself a shot at least but just because you sign a qb and then draft one doesn’t mean you aren’t giving y ourself a shot!!! Now penix can learn from cousins, and it’s like Dan said with cousins your not gonna be picking high jn the draft for the next couple years, and at the time they signed him maybe they didn’t think penix would be there and why would you go up all those picks to move forward??? It’s really not a bad move or pick

Excuse me but the Raiders were ranked the number one defense in the NFL the last half of the season

Worthy would have been there for the chiefs to take because the 49ers weren’t taking him and the Bills liked Coleman so it’s win win for both teams probably more in favor of bills with the 3rd, this just gives the media something to blow hot air about. Because the true grade comes year/s down the line.

For once I agree with Dan O

Same 💩 was done in GB look how that worked out for them 🤨

Beyond just the worst Falcons take, Big Danny with the best draft pick is the Bills with the 8th WR taken, someone they clearly didn't care if he was drafted because they traded down twice. Meanwhile Seahawks get a legit 3 technique at 16, Jets get arguably best tackle at 11, pretty much anyone that got a corner in the first round got value. Orlovsky is just stealing money, but anyone that watches ESPN deserves it.

If Kirk gets injured (God forbid), like Rogers last year, I'd rather have Penix than roulette FA to start. Nothing's guaranteed.

Sure Dan why shouldn’t the Falcons just draft Brock Bowers if it’s purely about talent acquisition? Because they have Kyle Pitts and you don’t draft backups with the 8th overall pick

it just shows ineptitude. you don't pay a free agent that money with that contract to then draft a qb to sit that long. 25mil cap hit if cut in year 3 to start penix. should have done what the vikings did and just get a bridge qb

The Chiefs probably would have been able to draft Worthy if they stayed at 32. Instead, the Bills moved back 4 spots at the end of the 1st, moved UP 38 spots from 133 in the 4th to 95 in the 3rd, and also moved up 27 spots on a later pick. And the Bills still got the guy they wanted in Coleman. The Bills won that trade

They all act like the Bills gained a Pick in that trade when in reality they swappes a 4th for a 3rd so they have better spots but the same amount of Picks

Wow, so some folks still don't get why the Falcons drafted at 8 a potentially Generational QB that in theory, replaces eventually a, by the Season Starts, 36yr QB coming of a Major injury. Which is why the Falcons are playing chess while most Fans are still stuck playing checkers.

85 sacks is a historical embarrassment. Sheesh

This mlb or pga

If the owner was pressing the GM like in the movie "Draft Night" I don't think they were on board with that pick.

The bills wanted the chiefs to draft Worthy. Speed guys, with that build and not the best hands are more likely bust than boom. IMO

Kirk was going to be a bridge QB. The falcons can get out of Kirk’s deal after 2 years. I think this was always going to be the plan for the Falcons

Lets Pump the breaks on those Danny O comments. Ma man said that last year Justin Fields and the Bears were gonna be a top 10 team in NFC but we all know what happened. DO loves to exaggerate and we have seen many time Pat calls him out for his outlandish takes.

San Francisco was idiotic to obtain Steve Young when they had Joe Montana. Green Bay were brain dead in obtaining Rogers when they had Favre. Washington shot themselves in the foot when they had RG III and drafted Cousins. No, wait, all of those (and similar) transactions worked out great for the teams that made those decisions. Suppose they thought the available edge players were not worthy of a first round pick? Time will tell.

Caleb the queefer lmao

It was more to keep Penix away from another team and have a valuable trade chip for themselves. He's ready to start, not sit behind anyone for any length of time. His career as a starter is now shorter than it otherwise would have been just for fun. #FreePenix

Mike don’t ever talk about football again…”trade for Daniel jones”😂😂😂😂

Time will tell but I am sure MH junior was selected before Rome as the best WR out there. So not sure why the guy at the beginning is stating what he cant know

It's shocking the Falcons didn't address the defenese is not like they took 3 Defensive tackles , a Edge rusher and a Linebacker, Shame on them for ignoring defense

Terry F. (ATL)GM former Saints guy didn’t want the Saints to draft Penix for the future! Period point blank 😂

Best draft

They gotta learn the word convinced smh

The bills gone regret that move. The giants I’m not even gonna get on them. To let the jets get better on defense was wild also lol. But the bears and us (eagles) did what needed to be done

5:36 I know everyone is in the NOW NOW NOW. But Dan is NOT wrong. The Falcons were absolutely not even close to making a real run even if they drafted friggen Aaron Donald with the 8th pick. They’re like 2 years out at minimum. Money-wise sure. Cousins cost a lot. The Falcons front office has been whack for a while. But also player wise I don’t understand the hate.

That nobody at the end said you gotta run you draft your way well you just gave the baby goat the fastest WR in the league , who cares about your draft or you treat now . Bills ain’t ever winning a SB

13:07 also Dan G is right here too. Greeny has the hardcore fan mindset of like 90% of this comment section. The Belichick comment is just petty fan nonsense. Playing games to impact other teams in the draft has gotta be the last thing on the minds of these PROFESSIONAL MEGA-MILLION dollar franchises

All of these talking heads are now concerned about the Falcons' wallet. We appreciate your concern🤣 And thanks, Dan, for being the only one not auditioning for a job with the National Enquirer.

When New England paid Bledsoe 100 million and drafted and started Tom Brady was SSSOOOOOO dumb....why are analysts so worried about the money, weird how none of them are a GM currently...they are professional talkers

Of course Dan tries to make sense out of the Falcons pick and argues with everybody on it. Dan Orlovsky is so frustrating to listen to sometimes. You cannot make sense out of that pick at all.

I agree with Greeny about the Bills, you dont give the Chiefs a Tyreek like receiver. Its over, the Chiefs will 3peat.

Dan’s explanation for how the Falcons situation happens, Dan fails to realize, would be a perfect example of a dis functional organization.

Nobody in this video is a expert or a NFL GM for a reason. The Falcons don’t have to draft the players ESPN reports want them to draft. Ironically the only one with actual football experience and actually played QB, thinks the Falcons made a good pick. While a bunch of nobody reporters try and dispute it. ESPN is falling off.

Falcons needed Howie. He would’ve got penix at 10 plus another pick plus a 3td next year. Lol oh well

We just forgetting bros like 35 going on 70 in few years

These people digging way too deep into this lol. So what if Kirk goes out like Rodgers last season? Then you have a really good backup that can takeover Kirk is not guaranteed to be healthy but if he is so what ? It’s a great problem to have. There was not 1 single player that would’ve made them a contender at pick 8

What’s Kelce’s girlfriend name ‘ I loved that

*GENERATIONAL Punter Tory Taylor thank you
