Penix pick makes more sense now
 

Boy did that injury hit Kirk hard. He is a lifeless statue back there. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Penix later this year.

You don’t bounce back from an Achilles injury that quick. It lingers.

I thought the same thing. Cousins is cooked if he can't drive off his plant leg.

I didn’t think it was a bad draft pick even if Cousins played well. Cousins was a 10 -11 win type QB with gaudy regular season stats, but Alex Smith postseason play. They were never going to be in a good draft position to take a good QB high that can get them over that hump.
