If the NFL doesn’t work out for Joe Alt, at 6’9”, 320lbs, there’s always Strongman Competition. I could see Alt giving Brian Shaw a run for his money, if he were to train and commit.

Maybe they want to start Penix as a halfback.

Take your 100 mil Cousins and quit crying for gods sake. There were no teams willing to trade with Falcons. If Kirk gets injured the 3rd week and Penix balls out, all of these people complaining will all be dead silent. Plus who says any of these defenses edges or other players are a sure bet hall of famer or even a decent player

Cousins is not only the exception, he was also a 4th rd pick, not 8 overall.

Bs, Penix was picked here because of the lack of trade and our disaster last three years. We got a real good qb for over a decade. Penix is the perfect rookie for our vet Cousins to sit for 2-3 years and learn.

Bo Nix is arguably the best QB in this draft. The take in this video is bizarre. PFF grades Bo Nix as the best QB last season against the blitz, under pressure, outside the pocket, throws past the sticks, first and second downs, third and fourth downs, and intermediate throws. Out of 13 PFF categories, Bo Nix led in 7 of them. Nobody else came close. Even Nix's deep ball throws tied for 5th highest grade. Nix also has far higher football IQ and command of his offense than the other QBs in this draft. Penix is going to be a bust. His body is fragile and he struggles under pressure -- traits that are really bad for an NFL QB.
