Whether or not the Falcons made the right choice by selecting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft is something we won't know for some time. However, the team's lack of a pass-rushing presence has been apparent through the first six weeks.
I did hear that Atlanta was supposed to draft me. I heard rumors about that. But they passed up one, so that's their fault. That's a big loss for them. They will feel me Sunday.
Murphy is set to return from injury this weekend and hasn't forgotten Atlanta passed on him in the draft. The rookie defensive lineman accounted for seven tackles and 0.5 sacks in his first three games.
Since Penix has yet to see the field, and likely won't this season, fans will continue to wonder if the Falcons made the right move by passing on someone like Murphy.
