I mean, the Falcon's took Michael Penix, Jr. after signing Kurt Cousins for 4 years, with 100 million guaranteed? Penix is supposed to sit on the bench as a backup until he is 27 or 28 years old? (He's 24 right now).

Las Vegas signs Brock Bowers on a team already with 2 top WRs (Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers), a TE selected top-of-the-second round last year (Michael Mayer), and no QB of note to thrown to all those targets? (Gardner Minshew?)

Chargers have an excellent QB, and they are protecting him with a top new OL in Alt, but who is Herbert supposed to throw to? They passed on the 2nd and 3rd best WRs. Now Herbert doesn't have any WRs of note and maybe just Hayden Hurst and have to hope they get Herbert someone tonight.

The Penix thing is definitely weird.

Bowers is going to play alot of slot receiver/h-back which compliments Michael Mayers TE-Y. They will run alot of different formations with 12 personnel which is what made Brock Bowers such a unique prospect. 

Chargers could have gone WR but there will always be WRs every draft class but a chance to draft a guy like Joe Alt doesn't come around as often. Which is also why taking a chance on a prospect like Amarius Mims at #18 isn't crazy.
