Falcons owner Arthur Blank wanted a succession plan to Kirk Cousins - They are win now mode and don't plan on drafting in the top-20 anytime soon

This is consistent with Blank's previous public comments.

It's also what makes the pick even more glaringly idiotic.

They either wasted a draft pick or they wasted $100m+ on Cousins.

Either way, there's nothing about the move that's a) rationally defensible or b) an indication that anyone in Atlanta has the slightest fucking clue what the hell they're doing
