The play that totally endeared me to JerZhan Newton occurred last year versus Iowa. The Iowa o-line had been chippy all day and they were really going after Newton. There was one play where Iowa threw a screen and this big lineman just clobbered an Illinois linebacker with an illegal crack back...
The obvious cornerback options at #35 are Dejean and McKinstry. The corner I predict will really appeal to JG is Ennis Rakestraw Jr. from Missouri. Rakestraw ran a rather pedestrian 4.51 at the combine, but he said he wasn’t fully healthy. He came back a month later and clicked a 4.44 at the...
Robinson is that “first off the bus” dude that just looks like a beast. I watched a number of Mizzou games and he just absolutely looks the part of an NFL lineman. The wingspan is just crazy. Mizzou has a proud history of producing productive, NFL ready defensive linemen. This guy is the next.
1. Cards stick and pick at #4 and take MHJ.
2. Cards get either JerZhan Newton or Darius Robinson with 2nd pick.
Being from Illinois, I am pretty biased regarding Newton. He is a beast on the field. He is the definition of a dawg!! May not look like an athlete, but he sure plays like one.
I’ve been there with the mental health issues. Mine started after a health scare. I went from being a confident, charismatic leader to an absolute shell of myself in just a matter of weeks. It was a nightmare, but it really opened my eyes to the reality of mental health issues. I used to be very...
I met Pat after the New Orleans game in 1998. He was drinking a Mountain Dew and getting ready to ride his bicycle home from the game. He was honestly one of the coolest dudes I have ever met.
If it wasn’t for the neck injury history, Latu would be the first defensive player taken. His tape is superior to every other front seven player including Dallas Turner. If the Cards could get Harrison, Latu, and Newton, watch out rest of NFC!!
Peter Schrager from NFL Network always seems to have a good vibe regarding the Cardinals and the draft. He predicted the trade down and back up for Paris last year.
He just predicted that Cards trade with the Giants and we take Odunze. Doesn’t mention trade compensation.
This trade makes quite a bit of sense for all 3 teams. I think the Cardinals ultimately get an additional pick. #5 still get’s us Harrison, and #23 get’s us in range for Newton.
Not much of a chance this happens, but this trade has been floated by Vikings fans. Could Jim Harbaugh who has called JJ McCarthy the best QB to ever play at Michigan and the best QB in the draft, shock the league and start his Chargers tenure with his guy? Again, it’s probably just to show...
I think any trade involving pick #4 will come soon if comes at all. Trading sooner rather than the day of the draft, allows the Cardinals to tell teams that “we really want Harrison Jr., so you better bring the Brinks truck of trade assets”. Waiting until the draft runs the risk of Harrison Jr...
So glad Donald is retiring, but man was he an absolute beast! If there was a Mr. Rushmore for greatest defensive players, I think it would be Lawrence Taylor, Dick Butkus, Reggie White, and Aaron Donald. Derrick Thomas would be honorable mention.
Every time I watch the Eagles, I ask my son about that #94 on their defense. That Josh Sweat just looks like a pass rusher. One of those first off the bus kind of dudes, plus he is really good!
The edge guy that most intrigues me is Bryce Huff-New York Jets. Former undrafted player out of Memphis. Has a wicked first step. I went back and read his draft bio and everything he has done at the NFL level matches up. Great, explosive first step, twitched up. Huff didn’t get an invite to the...
Josina Anderson-CBS NFL Insider said that Brian Burns (Franchise Tag) can be traded for as low as a 3rd Round pick and maybe an additional 5th. That is assuming a team is willing to pay his huge salary demand (26 million plus per year).
