Why the Atlanta Falcons drafting Michael Penix was actually a good move

The Atlanta Falcons have received a lot of criticism for drafting quarterback Michael Penix in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, but host Aaron Freeman is joined by guest Matt Waldman (‪@MattWaldmanRSPFilmRoom‬) to explain why it was a good move. Matt explains why the Falcons need insurance behind an aging Kirk Cousins and why he thinks Cousins' negative reaction to the pick needs to be kept in check.

Later, they discuss why Penix's accuracy and ability to handle pressure are underrated aspects of his game, before discussing how he can benefit from sitting for multiple seasons in contrast to most young quarterbacks.
