Will the Atlanta Falcons regret drafting Michael Penix?

Locked On Falcons - Daily Podcast On The Atlanta Falcons

Now that the shock has worn off from the Atlanta Falcons' selection of quarterback Michael Penix in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, will they live to regret it? Host Aaron Freeman and guest Trevor Sikkema (@ProFootballFocus & @NFLStockExchange) discuss how they view that pick now a week after it was made, and whether or not the team will be worrying about "opportunity cost" down the road.

Later, they discuss the team's decision to pass on a top pass-rusher, and whether drafting three defensive linemen after the first round make up for it. Trevor shares why he was higher on Oregon defensive tackle Brandon Dorlus and how he could impact right away, along with how he sees Clemson defensive tackle Ruke Orhorhoro and Washington edge-rusher Bralen Trice fitting into the Falcons defense. Finally, they look at the team's decision to punt on a cornerback in the 2024 NFL Draft and if second-year cornerback Clark Phillips can step into the void opposite A.J. Terrell.
