Aaron E. Martinez / USA TODAY NETWORK

Penix went to the Atlanta Falcons at No. 8 overall.

The first surprise of the 2024 NFL Draft was the Atlanta Falcons drafting former Washington Huskies star quarterback Michael Penix Jr with the No. 8 overall pick. Penix’s stock rose considerably in recent weeks to the point where there was confidence that he’d be taken in the first round, but not necessarily that high.

Atlanta signed Kirk Cousins (off an Achilles tear, mind you!) to a...
