So far, no Boilermakers. Does anyone know if Tyrone Tracy is getting looks? Who else is out there to keep the consecutive draft streak alive?

I would think Tracy would be a late round pick if drafted.So far, no Boilermakers. Does anyone know if Tyrone Tracy is getting looks? Who else is out there to keep the consecutive draft streak alive?
Longtime Falcons fan. I don't understand that pick. At all.
Deeper than that.Longtime Falcons fan. I don't understand that pick. At all.
Feels like a waste of cap space. They'll have a chance to get a new QB down the road. It's also weird that they're drafting Cousins' replacement before he even played a down.Deeper than that.
Penix fits a need 2-3 years down the line that Cousins potentially doesn’t. Easy choice IMO
It’s not. When you have a 36 year old coming off of injury with only 2 years guaranteed on his contract, if you like the guy and he’s there…why not take him?Feels like a waste of cap space.

Wastes cap space? Your QB on a rookie deal costs the same as a DE on a rookie deal picked in the same spot.It’s a copy cat move of the packers drafting and stashing Love. I’m not a huge fan of the philosophy. It wastes salary cap space, does not help you win and they could have drafted a different QB 3 years down the road who would be just as good. Instead of drafting Love, the Packers could have drafted Higgins and actually won a second Super Bowl with Rodgers. In the salary cap era, you need your first round picks to actually start or at least. Contribute.
Again, look at the Packers! They could have won a championship if they had drafted that one last missing piece. Sure, Love looked good last year in his 4th year in the NFL. But the Packers have 0 championships to show for the choice. They are always drafting for the future and never the present.
How is that a waste of salary cap space? Loves space was $2.2M and $2.8m his first two years. Good backups are more than that usually. I’m his first year there were 40 some QBs with higher cap numbers than him. He was going to be groomed by an elite veteran QB and it’s the same for Penix. I don’t hate the strategy the only reason it is making news is they just signed cousins to a $180m contract but anyone who understands contracts including cousins knows it was effectively a 2 year $90m deal. I also wouldn’t compare to Rodgers since the narrative there was the packers were moving on from their legacy long time QB where there is no loyalty or emotional connection with cousins.It’s a copy cat move of the packers drafting and stashing Love.

Yes it wastes cap space that could be spent on a different player! Or if you really want to draft a QB , you need to play him in his first or second year. The cap space you are wasting is in keeping the veteran QB around. Look at the Packers. They should have traded Rogers two years earlier. No QB in the NFL needs 4 years to develop.Wastes cap space?

$2m? That is barely more than the league minimum for a veteran…. And they would have still needed a backup QB.Yes it wastes cap space that could be spent on a different player!

What?! I thought you weee a packers fan?! You conveniently forget Rodgers was calling the shots including his dark room experience. Packers were at his mercy due to years of salary cap manipulation they were stuck doing what we he wanted. He bailed them out in 2022 when he signed the extension. He had so much dead cap built up they couldn’t trade him and needed him to restructure just to avoid complete devastation.Yes it wastes cap space that could be spent on a different player!
