    Cards' Draft Order

    Yeah, I agree they both project to DE. With the FA moves we made DE is a much greater need than OLB. I disagree that they aren't comfortable as a 3-4 DE. Both would have Smith relegated to depth by week 4. I absolutely LOVE Smith as backup DE as opposed to starting.

    OT: Lofa signs extension

    I never claimed to like Graves, though I wouldn't say I dislike him as a person. I just can't stand his prodding, reactive approach to running a franchise. You like him and his style, and thats fine. Are you suggesting the only reason I'm agreeing with SeaChicken is because he is bashing...

    Cards' Draft Order

    I'd be surprised if we drafted an tweener type. But I wouldn't be surprised at all if we drafted Campbell or Merling. Campbell already has 3-4 end size and Merling just needs to add about 10 lbs. We are very thin at DE, and Dockett clearly wore down last year. I'd rather trade down the the...

    Cards' Draft Order

    Well, I'd like to think that whoever they draft at 16 will push a starter to depth. I guess it isn't mandatory, but would be nice.

    OT: Lofa signs extension

    Not sure what I would have offered. But I would start around 32 mil guaranteed, but over 7 years, and be happy with 6.

    OT: Lofa signs extension

    I read the entire thread, and SeaChicken was for the most part respectful. If you want to get uptight about him liking Lofa over Dansby, well isn't that part of being a fan. He also said that Fitzgerald was probably the best WR in the NFL without any baggage. And don't make into a...

    OT: Lofa signs extension

    I refuse to comb through this entire thread to find the one word that you construed as instigation or inflammatory. MigratingOsprey and SeaChicken have both been on the board for along time and have always been fair to everyone. You want to say he is wrong because he is a Hag fan, fine. I...

    OT: Lofa signs extension

    I care, because he is a good player that we have to face twice a year. If he had signed with the Mariners or Supersonics though, I wouldn't care much. And I have to say I agree with "the Chicken". The deal Fitz signed a few weeks ago was a good deal for both sides, but only in the context...

    3rd round steal? Adarius Bowman, WR, OKST

    I'm not terribly high on Nelson, at least not for the Cards. I'd take Franklin in the 4th or Jackson in the 5th or 6th before Nelson in the 2nd or 3rd. He's just not fast enough for our needs.

    A new deal for Warner (Somers blog)

    Any news on this. Seems like we should get the easy cap space done first. Restructuring Warner and cutting Shipp would clear almost 4 mil and should be able to get done pretty quickly.

    2008 Offseason Cap Spreadsheet

    Is the 11.7 mil up to date as far as you know Joe?

    Cards finalize Fitzgerald's deal

    Yup, and I'd add a vet OL, would have liked a younger guy but they have all been snatched up, but Fred Miller, Jason Fabini, Seth McKinney, Todd Steussie, or even Turley (love the fire). Going into TC with Wells and Gandy as unquestioned starters with very little depth is asking for trouble.

    Cards finalize Fitzgerald's deal

    Ty Law still available? I'd much rather get a vet in here as a #2 or 3 CB than have a rookie and Adams. Get Law and draft one.

    Hey Harry

    My burnt orange glasses see Charles breaking more tackles than you give him credit for :). One thing about Charles that makes him hard to evaluate, is in the offense Texas runs, he always gets the ball standing still, instead of moving, I'd love to see what he can do in a pro style offense...

    Happy B-Day Hookem!

    Thanks everyone. Don't remind me I'm 40. I just got back from 3 day camping trip (sort of a family tradition for spring break/birthday) and it seemed like 3 years, hehe. The older I get the harder those vacations seem to be.

    The Cards' Draft Dilemma

    Yeah, I agree. Its why the inactivity in FA on the defensive side is so frustrating. We need at least 5 new players, some starters, some key reserves. Depending on getting that from the draft is ludicrous. Get a DE, OLB, and CB in FA before you close up shop for the year. Smith and Dockett...

    Any 1st round OL, DL, CB drafted by the Cards.

    Boldin on his contract situation

    LMAO. Yeah that happens all the time. Do you really think Boldin is going to sit out for 3 years, hell even 2 years. The Cards have 3 years to renegotiate his contract, but I really don't think they want to wait that long. They have repeatedly said he is the face of the franchise going...

    Boldin on his contract situation

    Teams can offer him 3 to 4 million all they want, he is under contract for the next 3 years. Not sure what "reality" you are in that a team can make an offer to a player under contract, but it must be nice there. I think the Cards should offer Willis 3 mil more than your Niners are paying him...

    Hey Harry

    Give me your opinion on J. Charles. I feel he'd a sound 2nd rounder for a team looking to increase team speed. I watched pretty much every Longhorn game this year, but I sometimes worry my Burnt Orange glasses may cloud my judgement a bit. Do you think he will be around at 81? I know alot...

    Boldin on his contract situation

    I actually love his attitude. And I think the Cards will step up next off season. I really doubt Boldin (or Rosenhaus) will demand Fitz type numbers. Get him in the 6 or 7 neighborhood and I think he'll sign it.

    St. Patty's Day Cardinals FA and Draft Wishlist

    I will say, I like the idea of Franklin in the 5th. Not sure what to think of DRC yet, lots of draft guys like him, lots of fans don't. I guess I'll have to trust the Card's scouts (hmmm, not a great CB history post AW) and if they feel he can step in and start take him, if they don't think he...

    I'll throw my 1st round mock out there

    I'd be ok with Jenkins in the 1st. Everything i've read on Cherilous is he doesn't have the skill set to play LT, and I don't think Levi Brown does either. I guess Forte would be a good option if we fail on getting Charles :). I don't like Okam, I guess in the 6th he'd be ok, but doubt he'll...
