The Atlanta Falcons' draft strategy reportedly still remains something of a mystery around the NFL.
Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported Tuesday that "it's been difficult to find front office decision-makers around the league who understand what the Falcons' actual plan was headed into this draft. Some even question their overall vision, considering most teams know by February if they are drafting a QB with their first pick. That was before free agency … and before the Falcons signed Kirk Cousins."
Atlanta seemed to lock down the quarterback position for the next few years when it signed Cousins to a four-year deal worth up to $180 million, which made it all the more surprising when it selected Washington signal-caller Michael Penix Jr.
