2024 NFL Draft reactions! Why NFL Draft grades are STUPID 

This is a can’t miss show on RU-vid. The stories, the knowledge, the rawness…it just can’t be beat!

Counting on Cousins to elevate a team is wild.

I love you going back and grading the draft graders! Do more of this please! It’s time these know it alls get exposed for their BS!

Falcons win 9 tops with Kirk "gravitational pull toward .500" Cousins

The insider stories are epic. So cool to get a peek behind the curtain!

Richard Sherman is on the same the same line of thought on why the Falcons picked up Penix. The thought is, the Vikings won't have top draft picks because they will have seasons good enough to keep them from top draft picks. We'll see.

Boone's Eddie Haskell comment was funny.

Always love how real you guys are and love the insights into how some NFL players and locker rooms think/operate 🙏

Question to the On-line Committee since Penix is a left-handed QB: Does the whole Offense Line, scheme and setup all have to change for a lefty QB?

I watched nfl network.. rich eisen was so great during the pennix pick

"A thousand eye view"😂😂😂...Sirles is turning to Ricky from Trailer park boys

I feel so seen by Boone “i feel like this started as therapy for all of us” 🤣

Realistically the grades are meaningless until probably after year 3. It's just a guessing game on who they think will hit. Congratulations on your clients getting jobs J! I hope they are successful and achieve their dreams.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite football shows

Love you guys and your show

Terrific content as always men!

Penix and Cousins age throws a wrench in that theory.

Love the show - you guys are killing it.

Nate Burleson called Minnesota's defense "soft" at the end of the first half of the Indy game. He wasn't paying attention to the game because he's so in love with himself.

My take on the Falcons situation is this. Owner wanted Kirk. The GM and HC did not, but they work for the owner so the GM signs Kirk, and then the GM and HC said we'll do what WE want to do and draft the QB that they ❤. The GM's comment may be correct about the Falcons not having this high a pick again anytime soon but make no mistake this was an example of owner and front office not in alignment, both getting what they wanted, and living with the scrutiny.

I love you guys. Would love to get a steak and beer with ya'll. I don't want to get stuck with the bill though...🤣🤣🤣

The one thing about drafting BPA is that you don't rationalize stretching to pick someone because you really need that position filled. I've in long been a BPA guy. It was what the Vikings used to do when they were one of the 3 or 4 dominant teams of the late 60's and 70's when Bud Grant was coach and Mike Lynn GM. Although Lynn totally effecthem over when he left for the Saints.

I think the Michael Penix pic was completely organic and in the moment. I think the falcons received a few calls for a trade up to eight and they knew that teams were going to take Penix. They got greedy and said hey why would we give up a potential franchise quarterback to these other teams when we were sitting here and we could just take him. It was FOMO plain and simple.

Get some old school 1980s era OL on. Would love to hear the experience difference from those guys and you guys.

Atlanta knows Kirk takes them from 7-10 to 10-7 and first round exit, not a SB. Penix makes sense from that perspective. Mackie is right: it took the Falcons 6 weeks to figure out what took the Vikings 6 years.

Dumb Football Question: Who's you favorite day 3 or UDFA mauler and why did they fall?

I hope one the guys they represent makes just way to Stoutland U. It'd be great to be able to root for them every week

You nailed it on the Falcons pick...😮

The falcons operated like a team worried about their draft capital in the future. Could the tampering case, and the ramifications from that have influenced the Falcons decision to pull the trigger on Penix?

This is my new favorite podcast (Behind purple daily).

The mantae story is so wrong, so cringe and fucking scary on so many levels. My classic old lineman name: Blase Winter for the packers. Funniest interview with a linemen (DLine, Sorry), John Jurkovic. Played for the packers and I think the Bears? He had his own radio show in Chicago after his career was over. Very funny dude! Great show. Can't wait for part 2!

It’s official. This is now my favourite NFL show. We need the two lads to do some reads.

How does the rest of the team feel when a QB takes up 15 to 20% of the teams cap. Is it get what you can or save some for the rest of the Team?

When you guys laugh, you sound in harmony.

Please get Cody Mauch from the TB Bucs for an interview. All you need to do is see a smiling mugshot and you'll know he's a dude worth some airtime.

"And we're going to give the Patriots a B- for their draft, generally it was ok, but drafting a QB in the 6th is a reach, hopefully he'll be able to contribute as a backup in the future. I mean, what kind of a name for a QB is Brady? Is he part of the Brady Bunch?" Draft grades are freaking dumb. Phillip Rivers taking the decline in birth rate personally, probably making up for Manti Te'o letting the side down.

I always give these guys a "LIKE " during the intro. I just know it going to be good.

IMO cousins was signing for Arthur Blank drive towards a playoff run now. (Age of owner) Penix drafted for next guy up from Business side. Is easier for team to make bank if always relevant. Ask Jerry Jones. 3 years from now they are either cutting Cousins or dealing Penix.

Atlanta could trade for an early 1st round pick -- 12 or 24 months from now -- to get a QB who removes Kirk's agent's leverage, or sign a decent FA. It's likely that someone loves Penix, probably rating him a Top Three QB prospect.

I agree about Draft Grades being STUPID. First off, who are these guys doing the grading?? I'm not saying the guys from The Bleacher Report or from FF or people like Mel Kiper are ignorant but the NFL guys in the team Draft rooms are (usually) much better informed than the draft 'experts' you see on TV My point is the NFL guys make LOTS of mistakes in the Draft AND they are better informed than the TV experts.

Boonie getting replaced with McKinnie…🤣

If you guys are going to bring guests on, it would be cool to get some opposing viewpoints from D line or Linebackers.

Great idea to interview the funniest personalities in the NFL, linemen or not.

McArthy will be an elite QB...no matter what Searles says. Turner will be defendive player of the year with 18 sacks. McGlothern & Jackson will be shutdown corners for years to come.

It's so true it's just content.

No grades? Participation awards? 😂

Maybe the falcons did it because their first round pick next year will be taken away. Better early than never

Atlanta's move getting Penix makes sense if Cousins full contract isn't guaranteed. Now Atlanta can kick The Kirkster out the door after two years. Now drafting Penix makes sense. In 2 years, Atlanta will know IF Penix can be a Starter--or not.

Even more so if kirk has a Aaron rogers year and gets injured again then penix is their only option

Guest suggestion #2 the boys favorite TE they played with

Not to beat a dead horse, but it is also possible that Atlanta suspects that they may have no first round pick next year. That pick might be cancelled because of the tampering.

Joe Berger, Steve Hutchinson, Nate Solder just to name a few that’d be great guests

I think it’s hilarious Pennix was drafted at 8 - Cousin’s number & he is too cheap to buy his own number!!!! Dam!!! 😂😅😮

I had the clear eyeglass frames like Jeremiah is wearing. I like the look but I hated them. Every time I took them off I'd lose them. I don't need my glasses to read and I read all day. So I spent countless minutes of my day looking for my 🤓

I'm still quite surprised that RU-vid doesn't do their own NFL countdown type show since they own the Sunday Ticket now, perfect platform for it.

Love the show, but I don't get the JJ hate. If you look past the lack of volume, the dude had elite stats for 3rd and long situations, overall QBR, overall completion percentages, etc. Meanwhile, Penix didn't put any fear into me in the national title game. He looked overwhelmed and slow as a processor. The defense around the Pac 12 made a lot of those QBs better than they are.

Jumbo Elliott! Get Jumbo Elliott!

33:29 *Brock Lesnar's music begins* Welp... Sorry Booney, here's a box, we had a good run. Also, it's a wrestling podcast now.

I think Raheem Morris just wants to have a long tenure, like Mike Tomlin. Easiest way to have a short tenure is to have a bad QB. So you weigh the possibility of not being in a position to get a QB in 2,3 years against the benefit of a pass rushing phenom like Latu. They invested in movable pieces on the defensive front on days 2 and 3, and they will hope to manufacture pressures schematically instead. Morris was brilliant at this for the Rams (99 helped of course). The reality is that moving from the 20's up to get a prospect like Penix in 2025-6 will likely cost multiple first round picks and they still might suck. You can hope that a free agent is available and willing to bail you out, but its not guaranteed and its expensive. The usual logic is that only 1 QB can play on the field at a time. But QB is about 4x as important for winning as the next most important position according to shtatishticsh. Maybe investing heavily in QB succession isn't actually so crazy? I get the lost opportunity cost of a rookie contract, but if you are in a position to sign a good QB to their first long term deal, that a good place to be. I get the QB room thing, but competition makes every other position group better. Maybe it can also make QB's better? So why did they sign Kirk Cousins? Because they want to win now, and there was no guarantee 6 weeks ago that PENIX would be available, and there is no guarantee that he is ready to play this fall. It is a lot to pay, but there were not very many roads that allowed to falcons to contend both now and later.

Guest suggestion : Babatunde Aiyebusi

Tuesdays live on in infamy 😂😂😂

Always wondered what happened to Josh Rosen. Were the Cards really that bad, or did Rosen have flaws that nobody noticed?

Am I the only one who wants to hear more about these "Letters from home"? I mean...are there any copies? Maybe we could have the guys read them?

Contractual leverage only matters when i comes to resigning them or forcing them to take a pay cut. Doubt He'll be getting another contract like this again.

Penix will come in on Tuesdays to represent the QB room

Guest Silverback appearance???👀

there should be two drafts grades...first draft grade is which drafts made the team...the ssecond draft grade is the end of season grade...all this post draft grades is nothing but assumptions and guessing...as if first round draft picks dont go bust..and later rounds picks make the team.

Kirk Cousins expected to be the Falcons savior then ride into the sunset a hero and retire on his own terms in Atlanta.

Get Kelce on here lol

BEST POD EVERR

You guys gotta get David Bakhtiari!

How pissed do you guys think the Falcons are at Kirk for not only spilling the beans about the tampering, but doing it in his introductory press conference. Pissed enough to draft his replacement NOW?

I actually really do like the Penix pick for Atlanta. Feel bad for the situation he’s in though. I hope Kirk and his agent doesn’t bully him or the Coach/GM. My hope is he balls out enough at camp to take the job from Kirk. Overall Penix has a much stronger arm and much better athleticism. Also, heard Kirk won’t be healthy for camp.

Hutchinson and Matt Birk

Get Case effing Keenum on this show

Not an O Lineman but Jared Allen would be awesome!

Jordan Mailata would be a great get.

Have the Vikings ever had a left-handed QB on their roster?

Would you guys get some older vets on, like Stink?

Guest olineman John Malecki love his RU-vid channel

Can Greg Olson PLEASE replace Tony Romo on CBS

Draft grades are dumb. As far as the Falcons. Maybe they got a heads up on their FA tampering and will loose their first round next year.

I don't think we would have needed to trade to 10 if Atalanta didn't mess the board up. Raiders would have jumped up if we didn't.

Try to get Steve Hutchinson

Yes, draft grades are dumb. Falcons though…..F

Matt Birk!

Randall McDaniel?

Does George kittle get a seat at the O-line dinner?

You guys are looking for nonsense. We were looking for JJ Mccarthy after we couldnt get Maye. Pennix was never an option for us.

I bet Michael Penix gets a SB ring well before JJ McCarthy doess (unless he's Mahomes' backup).

Heys guys don’t you That the Atl pick will cause a rift in the locker room once two weeks of losses come, team cousins and team Penix they’ve lost before this seasons even started

Can we get Jeremiah a new mic.

Back to their shanties. LOL What I hate is that the day after the draft you have a bunch of talking heads, including those with real knowledge, already trying to predict not only how a rookie will do but they are already trying to project what QBs will be picked in next year's draft. Unless they provide us with a record of how they are usually correct why should we care. Plenty of commentators who said to suck for Sam Darnold or that Trey Lance was the real deal were wrong but they continue to act like they are always right.

Willie Beavers to replace Boone

NFL Network is the only draft I can stomach. Greg Olsen deserved a better fate, I thought he was great. Draft grades are a joke and 2 years premature.

They needed to change the broadcasting crews for 20 years. Bradshaw can barely talk

Anyone else think power rankings are as stupid and meaningless as draft grades?

Penix pick cost Kirk 80 million

Get Dion Dawkins on the show, boys.

Jordan Mialata
