The NFL Draft was a bit dull for the first 7 picks, luckily the Atlanta Falcons were up next. With the 8th pick in their pocket, several needs at the defensive end of the ball, and having recently signed Kirk Cousins to $180 million, they took 23-year-old injury-prone quarterback Michael Penix Jr. After that it was pandemonium. Fortunately, we have a friend of the program, the incomparable Chan Gailey to help us sort out the first round, and tell us what the falcons were thinking.
