Not shocked that Michael Penix Jr went top 10. Great arm talent. He's had the roughest road of any QB to get here (and been the most candid talking about it), and for the NFL, that ultimately may prove to be a blessing. theathletic.com/5228052/2024/0…

The Falcons called Kirk Cousins when they were on the clock to let him know.
From what I learned, Cousins understood a QB would be considered but he did not believe his successor would be taken in the first round. I’m told he’s a bit stunned.

Kicker recruiting may be downstream from the biggest transfer portal stories, but I was curious how this new world impacts the recruitment of prep specialists. Turns out, it's put it in critical condition.
