    Cardinals Sign Linebacker Markus Bailey

    He did get a good deal of snaps last couple weeks of the season after not seeing the field on defense most of the year... we'll see how coaching staff judged his performance.

    Cardinals Sign Linebacker Markus Bailey

    Realistically, he's competing with Owen Pappoe for the 4th ILB/special teams slot

    Champions League 2024

    Excited for Dortmond.. my buddy and his family are big fans (our sons are soccer teammates). An All-German final would be interesting, but I think it'll be Real.

    2025 Draft

    Would avoid like the plague.

    Random Post-Draft roster observations

    Carter and Gaines were the two biggest omissions to me before seeing your note at the bottom. Could see Dortch/Pascal/Moore fighting for two spots with Palmer/Weaver fight for the other if either one flashes during camp or adds more ST/return man value with the new kicking rules.

    10 thoughts - 2024 draft

    They are different backs who do different things. I think Carter will be 3rd down/change of pace back, while Benson will backup Conner/get limited snaps early with the goal of replacing him after this season when JCs contract is up.

    Biggest Draft Disappointments

    No, the Falcons were really dumb not to take Rattler as the heir apparent after Michael Penix, Jr who is the heir apparent after Kirk Cousins.

    Zaven Collins: What to do

    Hoped he could thrive like Reddick within this regime's defense, but doesn't seem to be in the cards (pun intended). Wouldn't be surprised to see him in the rotation but not flashing much again this year and then him moving on. I'd prefer to see Thomas get the snaps at EDGE if the staff feels he...

    2024 7th round pick #226 is Jaden Davis CB

    I saw a blurb that we released Kaden Davis and was like “WTF we drafted him two days ago?!?!?!?!”…. Different guy.

    "The Trade"

    I can’t remember if I posted here or in another thread, but NFL mock draft database has a consensus big board compiled from over 1,000 big boards and mock drafts. That’s the site I’ve been using to check on the relative value of our picks. I’m sure most of those 1,000 are people who would never...

    "The Trade"

    I wasn't suggesting any of the above weren't true, but what the OP I quoted said should have been huge red flags to all teams - had nothing to do with scheme fits, and the consensus ranking disparity between McKinstry/DeJean and Melton was not insignificant. If those other guys had such glaring...

    "The Trade"

    So then why did almost every reputable draft ranking have all three of these players rated above Melton despite all of these factors?

    Big Winner, Not Being Discussed

    That program seems like a dumpster fire from the outside in.. I'll take the under on his projected draft ranking. I think Hunter is legit though.

    Biggest Draft Disappointments

    Edit - I misread this post originally and would have had no issues making the trade suggested here. Without trading, I would have taken one of the outside corners (McKinstry/Wiggins) and gambled that either Robinson/Newton was there at #35 because an outside corner has more value and those guys...

    Mel Kiper draft grades

    I would agree that this example is a pretty damning example of PFF's numerical methodology for rating CBs, if nothing else. But, it's fair to note that NFL Draft Database that has a consensus big board they describe this way: "This consensus big board of each player's overall ranking for the...
