Penix will not be there at 26. That's laughable

I like your analysis, Seattle or Bust. The only disagreement is, whether we draft a QB or not, I think we need to hang on to Geno for one more year. It was a step back at QB for him this year (or maybe Geno reverting to Geno), but the OL was never really set all year, backs got banged up, play-calling is still a mystery, I just don't think all of it is on him.
The thing that most sickened me this year is run defense. I really thought we were going to stuff things this year up front, and we got carved up. The D was soft all over and seemed like it was always on the field this year, while the offense wasn't.

Yeah, don't think they are drafting a QB either. Might notice Pete's and Geno's contracts both expire after next season. Coincidence?

You nor I have any idea how the draft process will go.
In the last 2x drafts multiple QB's have fallen well below their expected draft position. See Will Levis last year, Malik Willis in '22. Penix has a 2x ACL tear history alongside a shoulder injury and will be 24 years old as a rookie.
He may go high... but he also may drop a bit due to the red flags. Nobody knows yet.

I hope you are sitting down with a box of Kleenex nearby when you read this but Dallas is a UFA. lol

That's the one I didn't check on and have reviewed this post multiple times thinking I should lol.
Dallas probably cost the Hawks 7 points today with his inability to manage fair catches near the goal line.

That is literally the reason you should think they WILL draft a QB.
