    The Cost of Trading Up

    I realise the impetus. I think the choice is a dud. YMMV.

    The Cost of Trading Up

    Same thought I had. The price doesn't scare me. The Cards 1st round picks for the last 4 years are rather 'meh anyway ('13 Cooper, '14 Bucannon, '15 Humphries, '16 Nkemdiche). What bothers me is you'd be giving up the assets to pick up the leftovers at #4. I'd only make that trade when the...

    Jets Get Third Overall Pick

    Totally agree, but who's trading out? Do Browns give up #1 and keep #4 or vice versa? Are the Giants serious about not wanting a QBOTF at #2? The Jets at #3 and Broncos at #5 are in the QB market. Are teams fine with Jackson or Rudolph if they get value to move back? The draft setup is...

    Jets Get Third Overall Pick

    If the Bills were positioning for a top-rated QB, they now have some work to do.

    UPDATE: OL Justin Pugh signs with Cards

    Trade bait??

    Trading up in the Draft for a QB

    Any trade solely based on draft picks will be awfully expensive from #15 so the best route seems to be a mix of draft picks and assets. 2018 #15 1st round pick 2018 #47 2nd round pick 2019 #?? 2nd round pick Deone Bucannon For 2018 #3, Colts - a team with an established QB and an apparent need...

    Mike McCoy and QB/QBOTF?

    Yeah, I'm sure I read or heard he had trouble digesting the play book.

    Cryptic TM Tweet

    Or he's referring to himself and a willingness to look at his contract because of discussions he'd had with the new regime. A month ago he wasn't willing to take a cut and it was headed for a showdown with a likely separation. You could read it either way... :shrug:

    Steve Wilks press conference

    Scroll down the front page a bit further to where the clips appear as a list and select the "Steve Wilks' Introductory Press Conference" video link. It's the 4th one down at the moment. It's 31 minutes long. Questions start at 11:36 in.

    Fire Amos Jones

    I've heard this as well and it always irks me. Surely your effectiveness to coach is determined by your ability to impart knowledge to develop players? Either it's *all* the players who are wrong, or it's the coach. What's more likely?

    GM Steve Keim

    On the Move The Sticks podcast they compared the approaches of Arizona, and I think it was the Bengals. They said the Bengals always pick players from the big conferences (with baggage it must be said) and Arizona are known to scout a lot of small school prospects. When a Bengals personnel...

    PFF's Mid-Season STs Rankings

    It wasn't just this off-season, Mitch. The 2016 draft was partly to address special teams when you read Keim's comments. It was mentioned that one-year deals for ageing vets leaving Special Teams short-handed. I'd have to use Mr Google to dig up those references, but I distinctly remember...

    I Can No Longer Defend this Coaching Staff

    I agree. We can debate the cause - talent, drafting coaching, scheme, accountability etc - but it's been trending the wrong way for a while now. When a team is routinely showing up flat, seemingly unprepared week after week, it looks like they've checked out from what the coaches are...

    Cards contact FA CB Prince Amukamara

    Maybe that's what the "team"sources are feeding out to douse suggestions of Cards interest. If the Jags don't feel their in a bidding war, maybe they don't offer the world first up :shrug:

    Zasty and alexander are our notable cuts

    We had Ben Graham, ex-Geelong Aussie Rules player. There's a handful of guys knocking around the NFL & college who have AFL backgrounds. There was a kid at Memphis 2010-2013, Tom Hornsey, who was named 2013 Ray Guy Award winner which goes to the best college punter of the season. He's yet to...

    Keim knocks outta the park again

    Somewhat OT but still Keim/draft related: Keim was discussing in Sept '14 how the Cards had John Brown rated as a late first early 2nd talent and trying to work out where they could pull the trigger on a small school guy. Interesting on this weeks Around the NFL Podcast they discussed Cooks Vs...

    Gee, who were these guys 2 years ago? At least the Steelers' fans have some pedigree to back up their obnoxious behaviour.

    What, no pub.nter tryouts this week?

    I wonder what happened to Tom Hornsey, the Aussie kid out of Memphis. Thought he was supposed to be highly rated going into this year's draft, but he never caught on with a team. Guess he wasn't as good as advertised. Not that I'd want a rookie punter at this stage of the season with a...

    I mean really, how did Carson tear his ACL on that play!?

    That's exactly how I did my ACL. There was a Tweet from Somers that said he won't use cadaver tissue this time as was the case in '05. Maybe that is mentioned in the press conference?

    How are we winning games?

    Spins me out that going into Game 5 neither Floyd or Fitz had scored a touchdown; there'd been 1 interception by a defensive back, and we had 4(?) sacks only? That doesn't sound like a winning team.
