    Here's what I now see happening

    ESPN Insider is reporting that the Giants and Chargers have reached an agreement on trade parameters. The Giants naturally would want to sign Manning before Saturday noon to complete the transaction. Apparently, the Giants will ship Ike Hilliard WR or 2005 #2, 2004 #1 (4), and 2004 #2 (34) to...

    Blockbuster Trade Scenario: SD-NYG/OAK-JAX/ARZ-CLE/ARZ-BUF

    Too much trading down for my taste. Last year Dennis Green said during the draft (host on ESPN) that he tries to avoid trading down because you give up value and the opportunity to get a difference maker. He was critical of the Cardinals passing on Terrell Suggs because he had been a...

    How you predict Cards 1st day

    Manning (1) Fitzgerald (2) Cardinals ?

    One of the considerations when moving to 7 would be the potential of not having your guy there. As pointed out, it's likely the Jaguars would move up to 6 to draft Roy Williams ahead of us at 7. They have two three's to dangle as trade bait for a move up with Detroit. The Lions would love to...

    Manning (1) Fitzgerald (2) Cardinals ?

    If Manning and Fitzgerald go 1-2 on Saturday (it could very well happen). What will Denny do at 3? A safe trade down would be to switch from 3 to 4 with the Giants. Then New York can secure Gallery (a player Arizona won't draft) and Arizona can pickup the Giants 3rd round pick. Another...

    Will Poole moving up again - our 2nd rounder?

    I think Poole would be a beautiful selection at #33. He has tremendous awareness and would push to be a starter in year 1. He might fall in the Boldin category a little marginal speed but gameday performer. Poole is probably the best zone, cover 2, and press technique CB in the draft. The...

    Draft Notes

    ESPN Insider: The Boston Globe is reporting the Patriots have agreed to send both their first-round picks and two other picks to the Lions for the No. 6 overall pick and Detroit's fourth-round selection (No. 105 overall), provided Miami safety Sean Taylor is still on the board when the sixth...

    My attempt at Cards mock......Mock away

    I don't know why so many like Roy Williams. He and his Horn teammates were 0-4 against OU. I think he is a 1st. rounder but I like others better than him at number 3 or 7. I think Tubbs is very overrated and too heavy. None of us know anything about Colclough because we have never seen him...

    Cleveland Brown DB Available

    With Pendergast coming over from Cleveland I wonder if the Cards might be interested in this player: ESPN's John Clayton reports the Cleveland Browns have given S Earl Little permission to seek a trade, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. Little signed a four-year, $5 million contract...

    Mike Williams: Pro Day? Combine?

    He will workout on Thursday, April 8th at the University of South Florida-St. Petersburg. He has the second to last workout for draftees. Sean Taylor will hold the last workout on April 16th.

    Jeff Krohn

    It will be interesting to see if the Cardinals will look at former ASU QB Jeff Krohn as a day 2 draft pick. He is listed as a very good developmental pick and had a good year at UMASS. If the Cards pass on one of the elite QB's on day 1 it will be worth watching to see the status of Krohn and...

    Accumulating picks....if that is the name of the game....then let's review the merits

    In the 1988 draft the Chiefs traded up from #3 to #2 spot in the first round with the Lions and gave Detroit their second round pick. The Chiefs selected Neil Smith that year. Teams will move up one spot to ensure drafting a player.

    Accumulating picks....if that is the name of the game....then let's review the merits

    With Fitzgerald's very good workout there is a chance that Manning and Fitzgerald could go 1-2. Oakland could always pull a fast one and take Roethlisberger as the QB of tomorrow and deviate from the Manning/Fitzgerald derby but it's highly probable that the first two picks will stay with the...

    USC Pro Day

    I think Poole was battling a bad case of strep throat at his workout. I guess any case of strep throat is bad!

    Comp Picks

    It doesn't look good for the Cardinals in the compensatory picks category. Here are the projections I have found: THIRD ROUND None FOURTH ROUND Philadelphia (Hugh Douglas, 16 GP/16 GS, $5.4 million) Cincinnati (Takeo Spikes, 16/16, $5.33 million) St. Louis (Dre Bly, 14/14, $4.9...

    Denard Walker

    The Vikings have granted Denard Walker permission to seek a trade. He is under contract for three more seasons and has started and played the nickel role in Minnesota. Is he worthy of sending our 5th or 6th round pick to Minnesota for his services? Would he be a useful player in a rotation...

    Boston Given Permission to seek Trade

    Apparently, the Chargers have talked to the Dolphins about Boston: http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/chargers/20040309-9999-1s9boston.html This could be a big deal to the Cardinals if the Chargers choose to draft Fitzgerald number 1. Although, the entire Chargers front office went to...

    Macklin Update

    The Bills had Macklin in for a visit today and their fanpage reports that Buffalo is going to extend him an offer. It's also reported that St. Louis is shopping Bulger for a 2004 third and a 2005 second round pick.

    Here is the leverage we needed...

    The best trade for both teams would be for the Cards to send their second round choice (#33) and their second pick in 2005 for the rights to Ogunleye. Miami doesn't have a pick in the second round this year or next year. If the Cardinals must have a second they can always trade down from the...

    Potential Corner Signings

    No, I wrote that piece. I did see an article in Seattle that indicated Taylor was meeting with the Seahawks on Monday. Apparently, Ray Rhodes is interested in the player he drafted several years ago. It also mentioned that Bobby Taylor could be visiting Arizona this week.

    Potential Corner Signings

    Dennis Green could continue his free agent signings by looking at two mid-level corners in Mario Edwards (Dallas) and Artrell Hawkins (ex-Cincinnati). Both players have starting experience and are in their late 20's. They could be signed for reasonable cost and provide young veteran experience...

    Sam Madison

    I wouldn't want to part with a first day pick (3rd rounder), but I could depart with our fourth rounder again this year if the Dolphins played hardball on compensation. Trading with Arizona is advantageous because we pick at the top of each round. Miami really has very little negotiating...

    OK.....on to the CB position. I have some questions....

    Age. Everything in the NFL is about your age. Although, with personal trainers it's not uncommon for guys to play till their 40. Besides as a 41 year old man I'm partial to the old guys!
