The Midday Show with Andy & Randy

All of the conversation around town is surrounding the Atlanta Falcons' decision to draft Michael Penix Jr with the eighth pick in the 2024 draft, and deservingly so. The Falcons just signed Kirk Cousins to a four-year contract, and told fans that they were playing for now. Although the Falcons didn't seem to draft to win now in the first round of the draft, they did seem to do so in the later rounds. In rounds 2-4 the falcons drafted three defensive linemen: Ruke Orhorhoro, Brandon Dorlus, and Bralen Trice. Bralen Trice racked up sixteen sacks in the last two years and led college football in quarterback pressures last season. This goes a little un-noticed in this part of the country, largely because Trice played at the University of Washington. Andy Bunker attended the University of Washington and knows a thing or two about Bralen Trice, and thinks that he may be the Falcons' best edge rusher already. But is that a good thing? Andy and Randy McMichael discuss Bralen Trice and the rest of the Falcons' day two and three draft picks.

Friday’s full show – April 26, 2024

In Hour 1, Andy and Randy talk about the Falcons decision to draft Michael Penix, the timeline they have now placed on Kirk Cousins with that decision, and what is the priority now in Rounds 2 and 3.

In Hour 2, Andy and Randy discuss the Falcons trying to set up a situation for sustained winning, why they don’t feel there is a QB competition or a QB controversy at all, and why comparing the Falcons situation to the Packers decision is a bit of revisionist history.

In Hour 3, Andy and Randy speak about whether the Falcons are contenders as currently constructed, if the last few years under Mariota and Ridder led to the Falcons drafting Penix to sit behind Cousins, and the AMA.

After taking QB Michael Penix with the 8th overall pick, a player who can't help the team win now, the Falcons are still looking to fill multiple holes on defense. Can they do that on Day 2?
