I hope he can throw the ball deep.........

Probably better than the 49ers taking at #31 a WR who was rated #84 when they don't need a WR.

Both picks better than the Falcons, who just signed Kirk Cousins, drafted 24 year old Michael Pennix at #8 to sit for 2 years?

And when did the raiders last win a Super Bowl? You're in a Raiders thread.

I agree, I think Penix is the best QB in the draft personally. Allowing him to sit for a few seasons usually works out great in the end.
Yeah but Green Bay I think decided to move on from Aaron, they just milked him for a few more seasons till the new guy was ready. I'll never forget how they screwed him though by not drafting capable WRs. Green Bay is weird..tbh I don't think they even care about winning super bowls. They just want to win enough to keep selling out lambeau. So make the playoffs, have a deep run every once in awhile and that's good enough.DiabloWags said:MinotStateBeav said:

But it usually rubs the starter the wrong way.
Just ask Aaron Rogers.

I'm just glad I got to go to Raider games in the early to mid 1970's, their Golden Age. Now….

Cousins is essentially a two year contract. After two years it's only $5MM in dead cap to cut him. The much bigger issue is that after those two years Penix is a 26 year old who's never played a snap. The fact is that most 1st round QBs are busts and I see much higher bust potential in this class than most. JJ McCarthy is just another McCorkle Jones, I think he has the highest bust potential. But Nix, Penix, and Maye are all serious bust candidates as well.concordtom said:

Cousins signed a four-year, $180 million contract. That will keep him locked into Atlanta through the 2027 NFL season.
The contract has $100 million guaranteed.
The draft analysis I read pointed out that Aiyuk and Jennings are free agents after next season, so the 49ers needed to draft a wide receiver to be prepared for one or both of them leaving. However, the WR they chose was a reach and probably would have been available in the second round.concordtom said:

Who cares about the 49ers? They haven't won a Superbowl in 30 years. My son's flag football team is more relevant than them.
