    "The Trade"

    You summarized what many Card fans were thinking on the Adams pick. My question to you was: why do you think the Cards picked Adams over Beebe? What was there that made him a sleeper pick at 71?

    It was just click-bait.

    "The Trade"

    Yes. Surely you are right. After they checked in with Beavis and Butthead on the pick, they tallied up the expected reaction of this Board and made the pick. I know, don't call you Surely.

    "The Trade"

    Great supporting statement for Beebe over Adams. If you can play Devil's Advocate, why do you think the Cards took Adams over Beebe when they had their choice? (I admit I was surprised by the pick).

    "Coverage of round 1 of the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit was seen by an average audience of 12.1 million viewers (TV+Digital) across ESPN, NFL Network, ABC, ESPN Deportes, and digital channels. The ratings were up +6% versus Round 1 of the 2023 NFL Draft (11.4 million) and the highest Round 1...

    The Las Vegas bookies and gamblers are waiting for you to show up. Power rankings move all the time and are not considered dumb in the world of sports betting. Here's some click-bait on how power rankings are used to bet on the NFL (most for a fee, of course)...

    Same could be said for every single topic posted to the Internet. Of course the power rankings are click bait. Every single topic on this forum is click bait. Fans interested in the NFL and their team are going to 'click' on the article. We're curious about the grades we got in the draft...

    "The Trade"

    We've been down that road with the Cards many times in the past---trusting your (meaning the Cards) scouts and coaches. (We'll take that tackle over that RB). On every single measure taken at the Combine, Beebe is ahead of Adams. At some point, that Combine info has to go into the equation. If...

    2024 NFL Draft Thread - Round 2 (no spoilers)

    I didn't take your response as an attack on me. No more than me saying in jest that we are closer to #1 pick than we are to #32 . . . unless we trade that #1 pick for #32 and a bunch of 3rd round picks. LOL.

    I tend to agree with you on the regrets with Cooper DeJean and Adams over Beebe. We made our pick of who to go to the prom with and must live with the results. Here's Adams eval of NFL.com: https://www.nfl.com/prospects/isaiah-adams/32004144-4137-3948-a77f-ac8f4d02b20f Here's Beebe...

    2024 NFL Draft Thread - Round 2 (no spoilers)

    Congrats Yuma---You took the time to look at a closed thread to find my comment. Unfortunately, I think we are closer to the #1 pick in 2025 than the 32nd.

    Draft Thoughts

    If that is the case, why even do post-draft power rankings? Isn't the expectation that after a team has a good draft, it is going to change for the positive and move the needle on the power ranking as compared to other teams? Of course, the new players are unproven---that doesn't mean they have...

    A lot of positive mentions surrounding the Cards draft. Yet, it doesn't seem to have moved the needle much on the Cards place in pre-draft power rankings (at least for some) Eric Edholm at NFL.com has us at #26 https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-power-rankings-post-2024-nfl-draft Gary Davenport at...

    Draft Thoughts

    We still have time to round out the WR group. We lost Moore, Brown, and Ertz from the 2022 roster. Together the trio had 206 Targets, 118 Receptions, and 1118 yards. Not much production for the number of targets and the number of receptions. MHJ should put up more yards on far fewer targets...

    Draft Thoughts

    Cards must have agreed with you on Weaver. They did not draft him. He was signed as a UDFA. The head-scratcher is giving him $255,000 guaranteed contract. What to make of that? He is slight of build and stands to be bullied at the line and at the point of catch. Perhaps the Cards are...

    Draft Thoughts

    I guess that Boyd is looking for his career payday. I like the way the Cards have a handful of high-priced vets but then a roster of blue-collar salary guys. Bringing in Boyd for a contract/big money might rattle that cage and team chemistry. I'd rather see the Cards reward their own with the...

    Agree. The run game was one of the big improvements in 2023 and our OL came together as a group. We had a 5 YPC average between Conner and KM runs. Here's the stats for the run game for all teams: https://www.nfl.com/stats/team-stats/offense/rushing/2023/reg/all We had the most 20+ yd carries...

    "The Trade"

    Like your analysis D-Dogg on why the trade downs were good. Here's my take. My first reaction to the trade-downs: Are we giving away our advantage earned with our poor record to have the pick of the better prospects? The whole parity concept is based on giving the poor teams an earlier choice...

    Ossenfort is Kicking the Hornets’ Nest in this Draft.

    To be fair to Monti, at the time of the trade I thought we really scored big time. I fully expected the Texans to stumble the first year with a new QB and new coaching staff. I was expecting us to compete with the Bears as to who was going to get the #1 pick. Man, I could not have been more...
