"If The Falcons Didn't Take Penix At #8, The Raiders Were Taking Him" | Pat McAfee Reacts 

Adam is a genius 🤣 talks super vague then will say he knew the whole time

Adam scheffter is going full captain hindsight 😂😂

Schefter is the pro of “I knew it but didn’t tell you”

Adam Schefter is the worst. NO ONE had any idea the Falcons were going to take Penix

As a Raider fan im over the moon getting Brock with the 13th pick big time steal. Its pretty much guaranteed that 3 or 4 of the 6 QBs are gonna be busts

I’m a Falcons fan, and half of the fanbase is good with it. Goes to show what a string of seasons with bad qb play will do

Raiders fans are more than happy to land Brock Bowers at 13

Dogs in Atlanta when they hear a left handed QB named Michael is coming to town: 😳😳😳

Pissed me off man I was literally waiting for him to fall in our lap and those dirty falcons just stole him like the grinch 😂😂

As a Raiders fan, I'm good with our 1st & 2nd rounders.

As a Raiders fan , thank you Atlanta 👍

Brock Bowers will be a beast I'm not worried

I’m still shocked the falcons didn’t take Rome Odunze. Penix was a great fit in Vegas. My guess is he was the coach and GMs choice. Arthur Blank wanted Cousins signed at all costs…. So Atlanta wasted 100 million on Kurt Cousins, and now will waste a year or 3 of Penix’s career letting Cousins start to save face.

Raiders fan, I was very disappointed to see Penix not get drafted by us, thankfully our GM had a backup plan and Bowers fell to us

Pat I must say you have gotten better and better and that really says something. You don't flip flop but have actual conversations instead. It's such a relief and now I don't have to waste my time and become frustrated with other analysts. Just want to say great job and it's sincerely appreciated.

I figured this had something to do with the Raiders but it’ll all play out for Tom Brady to play for the Raiders

what shocks me is that falcons fans literally think Cousins is gonna play a full 3 seasons that’s laughable 😂 they should be thankful they got a QB Cousins has Bum Ankles is almost 40 & has robbed every team hes played with by playing good enough too not lose his job but not good enough too make it past a wild card

As a Raider fan I thank you ATL 🙏 Now we have a generational TE to match up with Davante, Jacoby Myers, and now… Michael Gallup. Weapons are crazy out in Vegas (Minshew is good enough to get the ball in these guys hands) Raiders ended up with a top 10 defense, so throw that in the mix as well 😮

It’s funny that Raheem and that gm think they are gonna be here for 4-5 years 😂

I’m sure Penix understands that the reason people think the decision is dumb isn’t due to his ability, but rather that he’s 24 and unless he just completely dominates a 12-year vet who has put up some gaudy numbers, given said vet’s contract he likely won’t see the field for until he’s 27-28 if all goes well for the team.

As a Raider fan, I was expecting them to target him if he fell. I would've been a little ticked if they moved up to take him. I honestly expected the Chargers to take Bowers but hindsight now, I'm kinda happy they came away with the haul that they got and laugh at the Falcons for the buffoonery they committed.

Falcons did the Raiders dirty 😂

I like how Shefter knows who was willing to trade up to 8 better than the team who had to take the actual calls from teams interested in trading up. SMH Reading the tea leaves I get the feeling that the only offers they were getting were from teams that were interested in Michael Penix. And the Jets traded down a spot so not sure how interested they were in moving up to draft the OT. No OTs were taken after JC Lathem at 7 until the Jets at 11.

I had the raiders taking either Bo or Penix, can't believe Atlanta fumbled like that

I'm so glad we didn't draft penix

I’m glad AP and TT didn’t waste a pick on a QB they didn’t want and instead bolstered the offensive line and put depth on Def. We beat the SB champs in their house on a Cold ass day and only completed 10 passes, we’re good here

The owner of the Falcons didn’t know Penix would be in play😂😂

Hey did you pick up your belt buckle in Bozeman during college game day last year that you wore on the Bill B interview. Montana Silversmiths?

Thank you Atlanta for not allowing the raiders to be the raiders 🙏🏽

My thing is the falcons just showed that they did tamper. The investigation is gonna end with Atlanta losing a first round pick next year. So if they did tamper and they are expecting that type of punishment then they will select a quarterback which they did

Falcons saved the Raiders from making a huge mistake 👍

As a Falcons fan, I love the pick. If you want your guy, you take him. Because if you miss out on him by trading back or in general, you're not going to be happy with yourself. Then we got our defensive picks in the middle rounds. We are set for the immediate future with Cousins, and we should also have our future set for the next decade. Penix will sit behind cousins for a couple years. Also, with our team as a whole and especially with Cousins as our QB, we shouldn't be anywhere near a top 10 pick in the next couple years. So the Penix pick is genius. Chess move.

JD was always our choice. Let the legend of Bowers begin

As a Raiders fan I now hate the Falcons

You can sat that about any draft pick. Genius

Falcons did my Raiders a huge favor

When penix work out. You can have Kirk. He will keep getting checks.. he is getting paid to be a staring QB not a franchise QB. We got our QB in this draft. 0:07

I’m not a Falcons fan but they are going to look like geniuses if Kirk gets hurt.

Penix was a 2nd rd value

Atl played it perfectly..dont alert anyone you taking a qb and let everybody sit back and not try to at least trade up to the chargers or giants..i believe broncos,raiders, vikings,saints,and Seahawks all wanted to get a qb like penix to at least sit a year or start an fontenot pissed on everybody parade.a lot of these analysts have teams that they like an love also..the ones that are whining the loudest about this pick are fans of those teams that wanted an needed a qb

Thank you Falcons! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

As a raider fan....very depressing.

I'm so glad pennix went before he went to the raiders. I love Minshew and every time he gets to be on a team, there is always some super high draft pick on the team ahead of him. He's on jaxsonville but they draft trevor larwence, he gets hurt and minshew plays great, then he gets traded to Philly and they already have Jalen hurts so he gets no chance to play, then he goes to Indy and they draft anthony richardson so he would never have played but richardson got hurt last year and in comes minshew and he plays fantastic and came within a few downs of making the playoffs. Then he goes to the Raiders and finally his team does not have some super high drafted qb so he will finally get a chance to start from day one. ( I have to confess, I'm a cougar fan) and I wish him the best. Watching him play most of his completions are short passes and he does throw too many picks but he's a real leader out there but I think people have always underestimated him.

Penix ain’t that dude

'plays how kirk plays" ... on the bench ?? hes gonna get that cane and crutch bag again lol

Probably a blessing Penix gonna be injured half his career

Falcons should have worried less about the Raiders and more about the Falcons

The Falcons Signed a QB who just recovered from an Achilles injury for a staggering $180M and then Draft a QB who had torn his ACL twice...SMH

The Penix kool-aid is more addictive than Crack. I don't get wanting something with some much wear and tear So Bad.

Never put your Penix next to your Cousin

I like Penix a lot, I was a huge Washington fan last season but his injuries are a red flag. If he takes one more bad hit to his legs he’s done. I’m not sure what ATLS major gaps on roster are but I feel like it definitely wasn’t the QB position

Penix was QB3 if Washington didn’t draft Jayden Daniels. Penix situation is the best. He’s a good dude and will get a couple of years learning from a seasoned QB. His 3rd year he can hit the ground running as a starter towards the 2nd contract jackpot. The other QBs are being forced to start and carry junk organizations.

It would surprise me if penix doesn't play in a regular season game next year......

I’d be so frustrated if I was Penix, would’ve instantly been starting and would show the league just how good of a thrower he was, now has to sit behind Kirk for years because falcons wanted to be greedy

Cousin better come to camp ready to compete! Penix is that good!

The time on the sidelines will give his body time to heal. After 2-3 years, he will be hitting the ground running. At least pre-season will be fun to watch and gives us a teaser trailer re: Penix Jr.

As a Washington fan for nearly 40 years it’s just great to see my team as not the most dumb team the last 20 years anymore with the new owners, Falcons and Panthers and Raiders enjoy the ride of misery.

It's gonna be a big night for qb's and there's gonna be some big news...wow Schefter you really called it! Wooo you're the next Ms Cleo. NFL teams need to call you for a readn!

Good for Garner Minshew!

As a raider fan, thank you ATL, or offense is stacked now 💪😎

The Giants messed up. They could have gotten Justin Fields for a just a 6th round pick. If Daniel Jones stinks it up this year or gets injured (he is injury prone), you have probably the best backup QB in the league in Fields ready to go. And if Fields balls out, you might actually find out you have have someone who's better than Jones and could end up being your QB of the future. But instead they get a washed up Drew Locke? Come on, man. 🤔 smh

Everyone wants to pull off the alex smith / pat mahomes method, will see. It may have worked with love in GB. But will see.

The Raiders fans were not happy walking away with no QB.

Tbh us selecting bowers feel Like a panic pick we thought penix was lock

Saints, Seahawks and Raiders all tried to move into top 10 to draft Penix

The only explanation I can think of is not trusting Cousin's health, but that leads to: why overpay for a stop gap quarterback? Something tells me the Falcons aren't the smartest organization, further evidenced with passing on Lamar Jackson when he was available.

We all knew that 6 quarterbacks were going to be taken in the first half. However, no one knew about Atlanta drafting Penix.

Should’ve seen the look on Aaron Rodgers Face on Pat Macafee show when the Raiders selected Brock in the 13th pick 😂😂😂😂

This is either gonna be good or bad depending on if Penix is injury prone

Falcons fan here and while I would have preferred an Edge. I’m ecstatic with the Pennix pick. Have you watched him spin it? Cousins is essentially on a two-year deal and this team needs veteran leadership. We drafted defense basically the rest of the way…

Cost cap isn't much of a worry anymore. Everyone's complaining about the $100 million for Kirk, but the cost cap is becoming less and less of a concern. It literally increased another $30 million this year and it will continue to do so. They have the quarterback position on lock for the next 10+ years if penix is who they thought they were. And the first two years go to cousins. I think its a great pick. And to people saying they should have got an Edge, first of all there's no guarantee that he is a hit. Second of all, an edge is not gonna take a team to the next level, it just won't. Thirdly, they drafted another five defensive players throughout the rest of the draft.

I clicked the video and in the brief moment before it loaded I thought to myself "man this show has changed a fair bit in the last 3-4 years" (in both good and bad ways).. and then Schefty's giant fkn face appears without warning.. word

Media after the Giants just paid Daniel Jones $160 million: "The Giants need to draft a quarterback at 6" Media after the Falcons drafted a quarterback at 8 and paid $100 million for Kirk: "The Falcons shouldn't draft a quarterback at 8

ATL's GM said they took Penix at because they believe they won't be picking that high again due to signing Kirk. What he didn't say is, "we also don't believe one more weapon is going to turn Kirk into a Superbowl winning QB." They expect to be better, but understand they have a ceiling with Kirk. Which is why they're already looking towards the future after Kirk. They just need him to help the team win enough games to where they don't get fired before Penix can take over two years from now. Could they have done that with a cheaper QB? Sure, but if they don't get the guy they want in the draft, then they're in for another year of picking high in the draft with probably a worse QB class next year.

I think Jayden Williams is going to do great in Washington

What happened to the Vikings when the same guy went down? I mean that solidifies Atlantas argument.

I want to know what is thought about Carter Bradley at the raiders

I know Gardner Minshew is happy.

the move back argument doesn't work unless you know for sure what was offered...

After marino the dolphins went 20 years before they found a descent qb i think atl was smart dude can throw the ball

Penix would have been an amazing fit for the Raiders

My only real question if they wanted to have a QB on the bench and eventually take over for Kirk, why did they not take the 21 year old JJ McCarthy?

As a Raider fan I'm still recovering not getting Penix Atlanta is dirty for that, such a dirty city, dirty birds fit them perfectly Dirty Morris, Dirty Terry

I love how Schefter says something extremely vague like all 6 QBs were gonna go in the first round potentially early and then when it happens he brags like he knew the Falcons would pick penix

Also, why would Minnesota trade one pick up with the jets to draft JJ McArthy ?

Soooo who is Jayden Williams exactly?

"Has a Raiders fan since 1965 to tell you the truth we will never know if Telesco would of taken Penix Jr. the Falcons next Michael Vick in their GM eyes even when they signed Kirk Cousins 180 million for 4 years Penix will start his career at QB starting at 29- 30 years old that they picked him or trade him now. I think they should trade him let him develop and play as soon has possible. Telesco seen that Penix was taken and that gave him the best player available was Brock Bowers the Lebron James player of the draft. Go Raiders just win Baby!" , Al Davis says." Trade Penix to Raiders let him play has soon has possible Falcons."

Isn’t cousins coming off tearing his Achilles ?

QBs are supoosed to sit a year or two

Falcons should have hired Belichick they wouldn’t have made this blunder of a pick lol

He knew, but didn't report it... sounds legit. :D :D :D

There was only ONE qb in the first round the Raiders wanted, and it wasn't Penix.

Nobody has an issue with Penix. Ppl have an issue with a team that just paid 140m to a QB only to draft one at 8 which is a premium pick. Didn't improve the team with that pick

Jayden Williams? And no one corrected him? LOL

To counter that the Falcons should have traded back to 10, the Falcons KNEW several (4) teams were after Penix. There would be the chance of Chicago trading back 2 spots and leaving the door open for Penix to go to another team if they could pull off a trade with CHI.

Falcons screwed penix. They are gonna make him a millionaire but they aint gonna use him unless cousins gets hurt. Penix shouldve gone to raiders but it is what it is

So this guy felt that a lot of teams would try to get a quarterback? How does he have all this insight? Before the draft I also heard him say that no team would draft a janitor, and sure enough, no janitors were drafted.

Who's Jayden Williams? 😂😂😂

Does anyone need another reason to hate Atlanta? As if f***ing up their own draft isn't bad enough, they had to screw the Raiders as well, not to mention the career of a 24 year old who won't likely see the field until he's 27. It was such a stupid pick, the Raiders didn't even trade up because they couldn't believe Atlanta could be that stupid.

Schefter should be a billionaire if he knows so much. He knows what the compensation package would have been if they had traded back, he knows no other team would move up just like he knew the Falcons would take Penix...right? He went from insider to Ms Cleo.
