Falcons Attempt to Trade with Jets for Top 10 Pick After Selecting Michael Penix Jr. in 2024 NFL Draft
The Atlanta Falcons made headlines in the 2024 NFL Draft by selecting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the No. 8 overall pick, despite recently signing Kirk Cousins. They also tried to trade back into the first round for UCLA pass rusher Laiatu Latu but were unsuccessful. The team ultimately addressed their front seven with multiple picks in the later rounds. The decision to draft Penix has been defended by team officials, who see him as the future face of the franchise. Despite controversy, the Falcons are committed to investing in both short- and long-term success at the quarterback position.
