This man just F bombed on Disney airwaves. The flabbergastedness is real 😂
He doubled the f bomb Lmaoo. It’s gold 😂
They always cursed on Pat McAfee.
@@skillethead15 after he got bought by ESPN?? I haven’t really kept up with the show since so idk.
Maybe I'm old but I don't want ESPN to sound like a bro podcast.
@@thejesse this is like the only good thing espn has going. Everything else is like watching paint dry.
Falcons make Mad Mel look like Mentally Well Mel
Mel is actually right for once this time though.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld OBVIOUSLY.
"You don't know sh*% obviously" Deep down, the real Mel agrees with this statement.
28-3 messed the Falcons up for life.
It made them lose braincells
The ONLY pick that didn’t make sense. 31 other picks. All of them “yeah, can see your logic. I think I feel your vibe.”
One pick that makes you go “…what…”
You thought the 49ers drafting a 3rd round player in the 1st made sense?
Yep... nuts. Makes you wonder what the Falcon's brain trust is smoking..??
The pick was ok to me, the part that got me was off-season signing 80yr old kirk. QBs were being snatched up like plates at an all u can eat buffet. As a fan, I wanted to see them draft a QB. I rathered them addressed the D, but it's like everyone wanted a QB. I would have rathered left kirk along, kept Ridder, and drafted a QB. And no, our pick may not have made sense beings we went and got Kirk, but JJ at 10th, that's bad. Even the highlights they played for him was bad. Every one if them was pretty much where the receiver just happened to make a great play over the defender.
You thought Raiders picking a TE made sense?
@@krishnawidardjo5777 I expected them to end up with a QB. They were all gone, and Brock was the best player on the board
Falcon doing falcon things
Exactly
Really thought that was Mel kiper for a minute 😂
Falcons: "Ha, we should take that one quarterback.”
…phone dies
Falcons: "wait we was just playing”
Rodger: "With the 8th overall pick,”
The crowd reaction is wild...
I'm betting the owner wanted Cousins and the GM wanted Penix.
Terry Fontenot is just a moron. He should have been canned with Arthur Smith Last Year
Ok but the owner still has to sign off on Penix because it’s his money so…he’s literally in the room with them during the selection. I honestly think the owner swallowed his ego and let them make the puck knowing he’s probably going to fire him in a year or 2 if this ends up bad.
We want both of them because Penix going to be our franchise quarterback...... While everybody else will be fishing, we'll have ours
@@Keith_No_Sweatlol. He'a trash. Complete waste of a 1st rd pick.
@@Keith_No_Sweatso why sign such a big contract for Kirk then?
Lets really put this into context. They were all in to go after Watson coming off injury. Then they tell us they're werent interested in Lamar Jackson in a dome with Robinson. They then drop 100 guaranteed on a qb who is comimg of injury at 35 years old, just to draft an injury prone qb? I think they make the playoffs but that would have been a nice weapon or extra help on defense. This isnt like Jordan Love who sat for years but he still young, this guy might be 26, 27 or 28 when he plays.
This is fuxkin crazy 😂
You pay cousins to win now. So go get the guy help…. Not a clipboard holder
mind blowing
They could have gotten a pass rusher or pass catcher. Could have had Byron Murphy, Jared Verse or Chop Robinson. Could have also gotten Rome Odunze if they wanted to help Cousins. Even if Penix pans out then this will still look bad as why did you waste all that money on Cousins that could have helped you elsewhere?
If your goal is to win now you need pass rush. If your goal is to build for the future you get a cheaper veteran QB. Falcons did the worst of both worlds.
@@DoubleHelixStrand true, and to make ir worse they might lose picks because of tampering next year
You paid a washed QB in his mid-30s coming off a horrendous injury an unreasonably high amount of money just to draft Michael Penix?
Franchise malpractice.
seriously. one of the worst GM jobs ive ever seen
This is the Atlanta Falcons bruh. If you payin Cousins top dollar you might as well go all in and give him what you can around the roster..
Just a opinion.dont mean it's right
How on earth is kirk washed? He has gotten better every year? And i aint no falcons fan
@@SeanPennII Nope he has not. Dude is Top 15 QB
Belichik just sitting there smiling knowing he forever scared the Falcons
$50 million a year for 2 years Cousins is OUT.
I agree, think cousins gives them 2 good years, getting older as well coming off a major injury
Him sitting for 2 years is valid outside of him already being 24
And you know this how? Everyone said the same thing about Peyton Manning's neck injury....then he went on to win a Superbowl.
@@lamarsmith5971 you got a point there but don't you dare compare cousins to manning, how dare you haha jk. See your point but only time will tell.
I laughed when they picked him up
The falcons should sell the team after that draft pick
It’s not about the draft pick. It’s about what the draft pick represents!
Congratulations Penix!
Bill looks so miserable. Going from running a dynasty to having to put up with these knuckleheads.
He was a good sport about it. Set his boundaries and didnt answer questions he didn’t want to about NE. I think they wasted his insights and didn’t pose enough psychology questions to him of what he would do in specific spots or what other gms were considering at that moment. Too many guys in that studio diluted Bills time.
This marriage won’t last. This is the honeymoon and Bill is already bored with Pat.
Ya, so miserable that he will appear on their show every Monday....
Haaaa!
@@user-vz7bh7xb7vthis aint gonna work
Probably one of the worst picks I’ve ever seen. Like he said, if they don’t have cousins then it’s fine but y’all falcons fans are delusional for accepting this.
Darius Butlers reaction was lit
Bill loved the Mad Mel rant lmao
This guys a gem
Arthur played a superflex league last year and said f*** it.
Mad Mel Kiper lol
The last time this happened was Bears then GM Ryan Pace who now works with Atlanta. The Bears had just signed Mike Glennon to a nice contract (nowhere Kirk like) then they drafted Mitch Trubisky when everyone thought Solomon Thomas who sucked worse and out of the league.
haha everyone was super confused
What an idiotic selection this is going to age worse than the Jayden Daniels pick lmfao
You can hear the shock of the crowd the instant that the pick is announced
Mad Mel is pure gold!! 😂
His mad Mel is so good. His Thamel is amazing though
Belichick is like - PHEW!!! So glad I'm not in collaborative working BS
Could they have put the ESPN music behind him??? Would’ve legitimatized everything
Belichek is like...I cannot believe you sat me next to this loudmouth lol. More volume than he has used in all his cumulative years.
No he wasn’t. Bill was great all night.
This pick and the Bills trading out of the 1st round with the Chiefs of all people so they could take Xavier Worthy were the two head scratchers of day one to me.
Falcons fan can't be satisfied for nothing in the world
Falcons fans must relax. The Penix pick isn’t as bad as it sounds. The Eagles drafted Jalen Hurts in 2020, and Eagles fans threw a fit about it. The Jalen Hurts pick worked out well for Philadelphia. The Eagles paid Carson Wentz, but his injury history led the Eagles to eventually parting ways with Wentz. Kirk Cousins himself has his own injury history, and the Falcons should have been more careful about paying a quarterback with a long injury history.
The pick isn't bad at all. You would think after 2 years of horrible QB play with interceptions/fumbles/ bad reads and inaccuracies that cost us multiple games, we'd be cool, but nope.
I don't know,... what they were smoking,..but I got to try some...
Because it's got to be some good sht.
Probably this most surprising pick of the draft. Pfft
Kirk Cousins coming off ACL injury, and Michael Penix Jr. just took his team to championship and is probably the best Qb in draft, he has the biggest Hands witch is important that’s why his accuracy is amazing, and he’s for the future, that’s a steal pick, it wasn’t a loaded Defensive draft , in terms of top 10 talent , great pick , now we got 2Qbs just in case, look at Jets last year with Rodgers first play of season amd gets hurt out for season, not to mention Cousins hasn’t played in more than a year, we will get our linebackers and edge rushers don’t you worry
Is the DUDE with the GLASSES on trying to sound like MEL KIPER?
Yes
He's trying to sound like a parody of Kiper, which I think he does pretty well with.
80 sacks in 3 seasons and the Falcons get a QB😂
I'm more surprised Mel Kiper has an offspring
😂😂😂
This man has the same energy I think we all have right now. Falcons are just idiotic.
Dumbest pick when you need defensive players and you take a QB when you just signed Kirk Cousins.
This is the dumbest pick of all time, bar none. Penix Jr should have his agent demand a trade.
How do you think RG3 felt? Shut up and do your job or get replaced😂
How this man get to drop F bombs on TV
Thats what you get for DEIing the GM position
lmao mad mel is the best
Kirk will not be happy 😂
Mad Mel 😂😂😂😂😂
What would be truly a shocker (and this wasn't a shocker for Falcons) is if the Falcons fielded both QB's at the same time. They need their monies worth. Lol!
This is ridiculous if I’m Penix I’m pissed
Daniel Jones cap hit in 24 is 47 million. Any more questions about the Kirk Cousins signing and Penix dract?
I mean theres huge injury risk for kirk, which would make penix the starter and they are also projecting themselves to win the division the next few years so they wont have another draft pick this high to get a QB without a down year they dont want to have; it makes sense it just looks absolutely stupid on the surface
Atlanta is an embarrassment
If ESPN doesn’t have Mad Mel and Mel Kiper at the same table this draft, someone should be fired.
Fontenot has wasted 4 straight years of premium draft position on luxuries instead of foundations.
Blank should make a clean break and fire both gm and hc at the end of the season.
He sounded & looked like Mel Kiper Jr. with that reaction & explanation.
If your defense stays in the game 80 percent of the time u are asking to lose
Great pick ATL we need a offense that can stay on the field
They didn’t want Saints to get Penix
We aren’t gonna have a first round next year so we needed a franchise future qb and we will prob wait for turner or verse to be selected then trade up and get the other.
Then why pay Kirk Cousins a 4 year 180 mill contract without a financially reasonable way out of the contract until 2027?
@@Ballin-97dead cap my g they don’t care bout that money
@@yrnsheik4451 why don’t they care about dead cap and optimizing their competitiveness?
@@Ballin-97 it’s only a 2 year deal. Read the details. Not as much as people think.
@@Ballin-97 Penix is way better QB right now
The Jets wasted literally 2yrs of High Level Talent on both sides of the Ball simply because they Didn't have decent backups at QB. Same for several other teams. So this, You Just Paid Kirk is so LAME.
I like penix but Atlanta was not in any position to need a QB they could of drafted Dallas Turner or Latu or Rome odunze and got the other position wr/edge in the 2nd and used the rest on there other positions of need and would probably be considered by me as at least a team that could win the NFC South that and reaching for Ruke someone who I didn't have going until like the late 3rd or 4th was also stupid
Michael Penix Jr. on the surface sounds like a TERRIBLE selection, however, Michael Penix had a much higher athleticism score than McCarthy and Nix and learning under Kirk Cousins will help him fill in the gaps as it pertains to Production. HONESTLY, I wish more teams used the Packers strategy of developing QB's instead of throwing them out there. Look at all of the QB busts out there.
Kirk Does Not Like That
The Mad Mel schtick was extremely lame! Whether you like Kiper or not: He was instrumental in contributing to the NFL draft becoming the big-time show it is today, and he worked hard during his career. It is disrespectful to have this clown mocking Mel for 3 hours. Perhaps you could have the real Mel on your set Pat???
Falcon have enough to win the nfc south and if they don’t win it it’s not because of drafting penix first round. Pittman, London, and the great running back and very good defense
If they had a very good defense, then why is the entire world telling them they needed a pass rusher? Their linebackers are trash and they don’t really have a safety. Quit sniffing that glue
And we got our franchise quarterback what's the problem?
just think of packers with jordan love.... it worked out for them didn't it?
Falcons gonna Falcon 😂
Last year, they decided to ruin Bijan's rookie year. This year, they just wanted to ruin the team in general.
It's racism that's the only thing that makes sense penix is arguably no healthier than cousins I mean he's already had two season ending ACL tears and he's only what 23 so you pay cousins and then draft the most banged-up quarterback in the draft its racism.
You're not even using that word right at all. Absolutely nothing racist about this.
@@oalonzoa1745 you're obviously not smart enough to follow the reasoning so let me break it down for you many of the black people in metro Atlanta are very racist people and they would much prefer a black quarterback to a white quarterback they don't care how well he plays these people are in the business of selling tickets and jerseys so they're giving the falcons fans what they want the largest demographic of people in the city of Atlanta is African-American the pic was about making money pandering to a certain race of people not winning football, again, thats racism
Raheem Morris is only the new HC because of his long string of success racking up Super Bowls in Tampa Bay not. His complexion is his protection.
This was a good pick the reason everyone can’t believe it is why tf would you pay Kirk all that money then ? He’s the most expensive bridge qb of all time,
I’m happy they decided to not hire bill there’s idiots in that teams front office, if they made that pick with bill
There as HC they all would’ve blamed bill
They pullin a packers.
They definitely did not, the Packers actually know what they’re doing. Love sat at age 22 an got to start at 25, Penix will sit at 25 an start at 27 or 28 at the earliest.
Could be a smart move if he pans out, kirk cousins if healthy gives you what 2-3 maybe the full 4 and JR can sit behind him and can be another J love type situation. Time will tell.
BLM! is the only explanation for this pick
1000%~
Bazaar pick
Who else excited to see kirk flop hard these next two years and then penix wanting out when pitts wants out
And that's the racism I was talking about right there lol
You want a right-hander to teach a left-hander....just dumb.
That's not really as relevant as learning the system
Cousins is a solid QB but he ain't all that, just 1-4 in the playoffs (and already paid nearly half-a-billion for that mediocrity lol) and ain't even got to an NFC Championship Final like Jay Cutler (versus A-Rodge/Packers in 2011). Could be that Penix will outplay Cousins at some point, just as Da G.O.A.T./TB12 did to Bledsoe, M'Homey did to Alex Smith for Team Sriracha (KC Chiefs) yada-yada-yada.
Penix was a 2nd or 3rd round pick in a more normal draft situation where That is another reason why that pick was terrible besides paying Kirk Cousins. Perhaps the Falcons know something we all don't!??? However, we know something they apparently don't! The Falcons suck! It wasn't the worst pick in my opinion. That award belongs to the Patriots. They spent the 3rd pick in the draft to a future career back up QB who the Patriots might help improve on to have a couple of good season in the UFL. The guy has no real experience, never played against any real competition, can't stay in the pocket and allow plays to develop, and he has terrible foot work. How long are the Patriots willing to go winless until Drake Maye has developed? The Patriots are looking to be bad for a long time, probably even draft a quarterback in the first round next year as well, probably the #1 pick. Suckers!
well passing on jefferson for reagor a few yrs back will finally move down the list of worst picks of the decade
Is Mel Andrew Lucking again?
I wonder why there’s confusion as to why they would get a good QB that could be the future of their franchise after Kirk Cousin doesn’t work out for them. They’re acting like Cousins is a stud and he’s not at all. I actually feel bad for Pennix Jr.
Because they just invested 4/180mill into cousins, they got holes like on the defense to address, and they drafted a QB top 10 that they coulda prolly traded back for , just don’t add up , not the best pick right there
@@Youngvada I understand that but he’s also coming off of injury and isn’t getting any younger. Atlanta is in rebuild mode and I think it’s more about 5-10 yrs from now for them.
Kirk cousins now posing for this third terrible Franchise
So what he 35 coming of a injury he want be there for long
So how much money will Atlanta be paying Kirk to sit at home? How much of a massive cap hit?
They just dropped the bank on him tho dufus.
@@siegmund87 they get some back for him Penix a way better QB right now
@@yrnsheik4451 get what back for him? what are you even talking about
@@cdf360 u don’t draft a Qb in the first round at 8 not to play him Kirk is 35 coming off a serious injury he not getting better
DUMBEST PICK IN NFL HISTORY,.LOL~
And it will be another 15 years before the falcons make the playoffs. Garbage
Kirk Cousins has won 1 playoff game.. He's not the man.. So they drafted the man..
Who’s that cheap knockoff Frank caliendo impersonating Mel kiper
As a saint fan. Fukk Atlanta that was selfish and smart af. They gonna be a force in the division for the next 8yrs easily
It's the falcons, they will choke like always 😂
They could have gotten a pass rusher. They could have gotten a wide receiver. They could have gotten secondary. They could have either used the money they overpaid to Cousins or the draft to fill one of those positions of need.
Zero pass rush, shaky linebackers, below average pass blockers.
@@shocktrauma85 I wanted him to the saints
@@antcantcook960 I just wanted another qb
This is a great pick.
THIS is why "fans" watch television. Everyone acting as if Kirk Cousins is upper echelon........He is average at best and when he starts to choke in big games as he always does, your fanbase will be happy they took Penix. The offense is already loaded. and defensively there was NO pick worth number 8 honestly. I will say it again...the move that should be questioned more than drafting Penix is giving a pedestrian QB 100 MILLION DOLLARS. They actually are trying to rectify a mistake by drafting Michael Penix JR.
Falcons fans must relax. The Penix pick isn’t as bad as it sounds. The Eagles took Jalen Hurts back in 2020, then Eagles fans threw a fit. The Jalen Hurts pick actually worked out well for Philadelphia. Carson Wentz kept getting injured, and the Eagles paid him $128 million before drafting Hurts.
Jalen hurts was third rounder no?
@@nickarnot1476, second rounder.
Atlanta Falcons are making my Dallas Cowboys look guud Mang ! 😅😅🎉
The Cowboys are sinking faster then any Team in their Division other then the Giants.
Paying Kurt cousins 180 mil and pick his in the 1st round smfh loll
