It is understandable to be frustrated by Friday’s first-round selection if you are Kirk Cousins. It’s the replacement that was drafted before you ever snapped. This comes after the squad was offered a four-year contract, which they obviously see as a two- to three-year investment. Why did they draft Penix Jr. so early if they think you can start all four years at a high level? The explanation is that if Penix Jr. turns out to be the quarterback they think he is, they clearly intend to cut their ties with Cousins as quickly as possible. All of this won’t matter in the long run if they are correct about Penix, and the choice will become obvious. In the short term, though, you selected a player eighth overall who, if Cousins keeps healthy, won’t play for two years. The veteran has more than enough reasons to be irritated with his new front office just because of this. It gets worse when you consider that Cousins was unaware of the pick until the team was using its time limit. The quarterback has every right to be frustrated with the organisation. The team is encouraging the quarterback controversy that Cousins battled valiantly to avoid in Washington. Atlanta was a sensible destination for him to land once he at last realised his full potential in Minnesota, benefiting both parties. This was done with the knowledge that all of the best quarterback prospects were unattainable and that the draft would proceed exactly as it did. But Atlanta held a different opinion, thinking that Michael Penix Jr., the quarterback, was being disregarded. This begs the obvious question: Why are Cousins on the roster if they have such a strong belief in Penix? The cap space you spent on a quarterback you’re already trying to replace could have been better used to fill out your roster with less expensive bridge options. Penix Jr. is a franchise player, so even if the Falcons are correct, the move’s timing and execution seem dubious. As Kirk Cousins constantly looks over his shoulder, you will squander at least two years of his rookie contract and just hope you made the correct decision for the first two seasons. Although the decision is being likened to Green Bay selecting Jordan Love in the draft, the circumstances are very dissimilar. What is constant is that both teams voiced valid complaints to their experienced quarterbacks about a head office that is obviously not giving it their all in the current season.
In the NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons added a linebacker from the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to bolster their front seven. The Atlanta Falcons selected quarterback Michael Penix Jr. as the eighth overall pick, shocking many. Since then, the team has selected four defenders in a row. Linebacker JD Bertrand of Notre Dame, a native of Alpharetta, Georgia, and a graduate of Blessed Trinity High School in Roswell, was selected by Atlanta with the 143rd overall choice.Prior to playing 10 games and recording seven tackles in 2020, Bertrand played four games as a true freshman in 2019 and redshirted for the first two years of his collegiate career. In 2021, the 6-1, 235-pound Bertrand made a breakthrough, starting all 13 games, recording a team-high 101 tackles, and recording seven tackles for loss. The next year, Bertrand again led the Fighting Irish in tackles with 82 stops and 8.5 tackles for loss. With 76 tackles in his final season at South Bend, Bertrand once again led the club in tackle production. He also added 2.5 sacks and 7.5 tackles for loss. On May 5, Bertrand will turn 24 years old. He has a stellar off-field history. In 2022, he was a part of the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team. This past season, he advanced to the finals of the William V. Campbell Trophy, also known as the “Academic Heisman,” and the Wuerffel Trophy, which recognises community work. With the exception of the bench press, which he completed with 20 repetitions, Bertrand was unable to take part in any spring testing due to a foot injury he received at the Reese’s Senior Bowl. In Atlanta, Bertrand becomes a member of a draft class that includes quarterback Michael Penix Jr. in the first round, defensive lineman Rude Orhorhoro in the second round, defensive end Bralen Trice in the third round, and defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus in the fourth round.
