    Cardinals last 5 drafts

    The funny thing is the sentiment on this board seemed to be that it was a good pick. Later using our super powers, 20/20 hindsight, we discovered that it was a very bad pick. He must have fooled others too because after we cut him Detroit picked him up and they seemed to think they got a steal...

    Draft Thursday: Cardinals' Thoughts

    I like Greene too but we seem to be in the minority. :) My favorite comment about him is from Michael Lombardi of the NFL network. He is a former player personnel guy with Browns, Philadelphia, and a couple of others. He said that tackling Greene was like trying to tackle a coke machine. :D...

    Draft Friday: Cardinals' Thoughts

    I disagee. I think there are quite a few good 3-4 OLBs in this years draft. I heard a talent evaluator say yesterday that he has never seen so many 6'2" 255 4.8 players in any draft. With the tweener thing going on with players in this category you know there are some guys in college with some...

    Kiper's Latest Mock

    I have heard that Tyson Jackson has really been rising. One of the reasons given is that there are a lot of boom or bust type players in ths years draft. Jackson, because he is a true defensive end and teams don't have to try to project him doing something different from what he has done in...

    Donald Brown was just on NFLN

    There is no doubt that he would contribute and I think his work ethic is unquestioned. He would be a good pick.

    Q For a 2nd?!! (Rumor)

    You're right on target Mitch. I've heard that it is a very deep draft through 3 rounds and then tails off considerably. In fact I've heard it said that you can probably get as good a player in the second round as in the second half of the first round. We get to caught up in first rounder vs...

    Draft Thursday: Cardinals' Thoughts

    Thats the problem with a lot of these guys is that you have to try to project them playing standing up vs. what they've been doing their whole time in college. It aint always easy. I think we fans see a guy that fits the size/speed ratio and he looks good rushing off the edge with his hand on...

    Thats an interesting observation.

    Donald Brown was just on NFLN

    I agree. I just don't remember many posters here being all that thrilled with anything TH brought to the table, least of all his pass catching ability.:)

    Somers live Chat today.

    I heard an over night radio show and one of the guests said that some NFL personnel guys have told him that this is the deepest group of returners ever. They said there could be 15 solid returners in this years draft. Sounds like a good year to get one. :) I find this very interesting. I know...

    Donald Brown was just on NFLN

    I just want to say that I don't dislike Brown. I think he will be a good back and wouldn't have a problem with him being a Cardinal. The discussion was just on some of his negatives and every back has some. I do prefer bigger backs but I don't have anything against Brown at all. As far as...

    Donald Brown was just on NFLN

    Maybe, but I think he stands a chance. In response to cardsfanmd and if I played football the funny thing is that I played what we now call a hybrid DE/OLB. Just from my experience I would say smaller quicker guys were red meat. They might be in position but when you have 40-50 lbs on the...

    Donald Brown was just on NFLN

    I have played football and you are rude. I was talking about blocking being part of the evaluation. Do you think Brown will be a better blocker than Greene? I said I like Brown but I have some concerns. I also don't think it really matters about Brownbecause I don't think we use our first...

    Donald Brown was just on NFLN

    Well you can think it's comical but I think Greene will be an effective ball carrier in the NFL. I don't think Greene is a great blocker either it's just that with his size he has a chance. Again I didn't say it was the #1 reason but that it was part of the evaluation. I admit I like a...

    Donald Brown was just on NFLN

    I disagree. Brown could get better no doubt but he just lacks the size to ever be a truely effective blocker. Hightower is just a little bigger more physical type of player who has a chance to be a decent blocker. I also thought he hurt us at the beginning of last year because it became...

    Draft Wednesday: Cardinals' Thoughts

    This is interesting thinking. Most at first glance would say no, they want a 1st rounder, but I heard a draft expert from the Dallas Morning News propose something similar. He talks to the decision makers with NFL teams to make his mock. He doesn't read any mock drafts done by anyone because...

    Donald Brown was just on NFLN

    I like Brown as well but I don't think of these statements as nitpicking. Backs this size always worry me. It is a man sized game in the NFL and smaller backs have trouble surviving the constant pounding and hits from all directions. Some guys do it but I put my money on the bigger backs...

    Whiz type players

    It makes perfect sense to me. Talks with Dansby have not come to fruition and he talks like he wants a a shot at free agency. Our number 1 backup in the middle, Monty Beisel, signed with the Chiefs. Next year we could be left one player short at ILB. One injury and we could be short this...

    Todd McShay's 7 round mock for Cards

    5 of the 8 on offense? I don't think so. Everyone knows that the defense is where most of our energy will go.

    Harvin tested positive for pot at combine

    Maybe but I was listening to an overnight radio show on Monday and they were talking about an article that surveyed personnel guys in the NFL and asked who was the biggest risk in this years draft. They named Harvin. They sited four warning signs. 1. Coachability 2. No respect for authority 3...

    Wes Bunting's Final Position Rankings from National Football Post

    Not him but I'll try. Great athlete but very raw and has much much learning to do. I'll quote the negatives from a scouting report I saw. Only a one trick pony with few counter moves. One year starter on defense and is still very raw, Late to react to the ball and does not instinctively see...

    Cardinals Face-Plant.

    I agree. The Niners never got to see DRC after he really got rolling. IMHO this, along with McFadden and Hood at nickle, gives us a huge advantage we didn't have when facing them last year.

    The Q Conundrum

    It's interesting to see what is being offered. I heard John Clayton on an overnight radio show and he said the Giants were offering a 2nd and a 5th. He did say he believed that Q would be traded and that he would end up in Baltimore. An interesting side note from Clayton was that the...

    Michael Wilbon had it right

    All things being equal I would agree. The problem is they are never equal. How many good years does Boldin have left? Will he be as good this year as last year? How good will Doucet be if given a chance to play every day? I say Boldin has at least 2-3 years playing at a borderline pro bowl...

    Pre-Draft Cardinal Thoughts

    I love Peerman. Not only is he a good running back but he was an excellent returner before he became Virginia's #1 back. He has small hands though and has had a little bit of a fumbling problem. I like both Greene and Peerman and it wouldn't surprise me to see the Cards double down on running...
