    He mocked it as a 3rd plus a 2025 2nd.

    The value of trading down in the draft

    The Athletic has a fascinating article today that will explode some heads by shattering the strongly held opinions of many here. Bottom line: typically a couple of "magic beans" is worth more than a single "sure thing". The article, "NFL teams know the best way to draft, so why aren’t they...

    Week 15 of the Arizona Cardinals off season. 04/15/24-04/21/24

    Then find a photo that shows both feet down at the same time with the ball in Holmes' hands. (You won't.) I've single-framed through the videos of the play and I don't believe he got his right foot down in bounds with the ball in his hands. But, whatcha gonna do? :shrug:

    Hit rate for WRs drafted first-round

    The Athletic has an apropos article today including their analysis of the Hit rate for WRs drafted first-round. Some highlights:

    OT: Former ASU, NFL player Terrell Suggs arrested in Scottsdale Starbucks drive-thru incident

    WTF... the article says: So he shouldn't have felt threatened when a guy threatens to kill him and brandishes a gun? Is it OK as long as Suggs didn't point the gun at him? Should the guy have meekly stayed in his car and said nothing when Suggs backed into his car? You're making some kind of...

    Cards Trade Request Will Be Met

    Gotta have that deal to move back up worked out in advance... as they did last year. Or make it a three-team trade in a single transaction.

    QB Question Has Been the Subject of Scout Talk All Day

    I thought we've already seen that upon encountering adversity, he runs to cry on mommy's shoulder? (J/k mostly - I have zero ability to evaluate college prospects... just going by what I've read!)

    My Biggest Draft Worry

    I like the thought, but #11 might not do it if they're targeting Alt.

    Who Starts Week 1 at Wide Receiver?

    Doesn't the advantage go to Harrison Jr. on that count? He's a legacy! (Allegedly!)

    2024 Free Agency thread

    So, it's better to have a later draft pick? I'm looking forward to seeing the somersaults you'll do to support this take! :biglaugh:

    2024 Free Agency thread

    Mike Sando had another excellent article for The Athletic on Wednesday in which he cites "NFL executives unfiltered on 2024 free agency: The best and worst from all 32 teams", and tallies "the average per-year salary (APY) of players who were added from other teams and players who left to sign...

    Ex-Cardinals VP Terry McDonough accuses Bidwill of cheating

    Surprised it took this long for Florio to weigh in.... Will NFL discipline Michael Bidwill, Cardinals in aftermath of Terry McDonough ruling?

    Ex-Cardinals VP Terry McDonough accuses Bidwill of cheating

    Nope! From the article: It was pretty obvious at the time that the team went way too far in attacking McDonough for issues completely unrelated to the case. I'm amazed that the team statement was made "under the guidance of crisis communications firm CounterPoint Strategies". Utter...

    Three team trade with Cards moving to #5?

    Why would you stay put and take Harrison, when you could accept this offer, move from 27 to 23, and still get Harrison?! :doi: The only way for the Cardinals to extract more from the Vikings in this scenario is to threaten, or actually go through with, a trade with the Giants. But then they...

    OT: The 2024 Pro Day Thread

    I must be missing something... what's so bad about it? The second pass could've hit the WR more in stride, but that footage seems pretty weak for substantiating the claim that it's the worst pro day the guy has ever seen. Maybe this is the only pro day "Joe" has ever seen? The longer video...

    OT: 2024 NFL Draft Rumors

    Harbaugh thinks OL is important. Every other position group depends on OL but OL doesn't depend on any other group to do its job.

    The 2023-24 league year

    This... and I hate that onside kicks are only allowed in the 4th quarter and must be declared! They should've figured out a way for the kicking team to retain possession - with about a 10% likelihood of success - while still lining up in the same formation. Maybe if they expanded the "landing...

    OT: 2024 NFL Draft Rumors

    Ben Standig of The Athletic posted a mock draft yesterday that I would like: I'm sure in this scenario the Cards would not accept the trade down to #12 without already having the trade back up to #9 agreed to. But we'd all be sweating picks #6-#8! [Edited to add the Cards' projected picks at...

    OT: 2024 NFL Draft Rumors

    Fair point, and the (awful) precedent was set for giving up three first round picks to move from #12 to #3 when the 49ers did it for the third QB in three 2021 draft. The Cards' ability to maximize the value of #4 will ride on the value difference Minnesota perceives between the 4th and 5th...

    OT: 2024 NFL Draft Rumors

    If the world knows that the Cardinals value Harrison SO HIGHLY, why would the Vikings offer such a ridiculous bounty for a trade-up with the Cardinals - they could just make a much more reasonable offer to the Chargers and still get their guy. 3 1st round picks for a move from 11 to 4 is just...

    Crazy Trade idea: Chargers move to #4, trade Herbert for #11 and #23

    :biglaugh: This is nothing more than a Viking fan's wet dream! The Chargers would have a $108,504,000 dead cap hit if they traded Herbert before June 1st. Plus, why would Minnesota offer up a 2nd round pick to move up one spot?! A 3rd would be a massive overpay for a 100-point move. They...
