For the first hour of the first round of the NFL Draft, everything was going to plan. Despite all the smoke leading up to last Thursday night, nothing out of the ordinary took place within the first seven picks. There were no surprising trades, and everyone seemed to make the most logical selection once they were on the clock.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Falcons must have seen all of that and thought it was too boring because they completely flipped the NFL Draft on its head when they took Michael Penix with the 8th overall pick. Very few people saw it coming, and everybody was anxious to hear the reasoning behind the selection from Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot.<\/p>\n
The two took the podium moments after the first round concluded, and while their answers still left most fans scratching their heads, the one thing they mentioned multiple times was the Green Bay model.<\/p>\n
The Packers have brilliantly gone from Hall-of-Fame quarterback to Hall-of-Fame quarterback to\u00a0Jordan Love\u00a0without ever facing the dreaded QB purgatory, and they\u2019ve done that by taking quarterbacks in the first round that they coveted and letting them sit for a few years.<\/p>\n
However, as Daniel Jeremiah puts it, comparing situations in Atlanta and Green Bay is \u201capples to oranges.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n"The Falcons used the Green Bay model as their explanation..<\/p>\n
That's apples to oranges because Kirk Cousins hasn't played a game for the Falcons..<\/p>\n
He has no equity with the organization or the city yet" ~ @MoveTheSticks<\/a> #PMSLive<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/NNdih8Ic2D<\/a><\/p>\n
