The Atlanta Falcons are considering drafting Michael Penix Jr. in the upcoming NFL draft amidst uncertainty with Kirk Cousins and the team's quarterback situation. The potential pick at No. 8 overall could impact their playoff aspirations and immediate needs for the team.
The team is looking to improve their roster with Penix potentially being a future starter, but the pick might be too early considering their current quarterback situation. The defense also needs attention, with the potential selection of a cornerback at No. 8 overall to bolster the team's performance.
