-Jordan Rodgers (Vandy) (bloodline player, low risk)

RB (nothing pre round 3)

2013 Chopper Approved Draft Prospects - Approved by Bodha. lol.


QB (take one high or almost not at all)
-Tyler Wilson (Arkansas) - 100% disagree.
-Jordan Rodgers (Vandy) (bloodline player, low risk)
insert: Colin Klein

RB (nothing pre round 3)
-Stepfan Taylor (Stanford)
-James Jammison (Rutgers)
-Giovanni Bernanrd (North Carolina)
-Kenjon Barner (Oregon) - How many stud Oregon RBs are now producing in the NFL? Oregon = good COLLEGE level RBs. Fast, but Too small for their own good.
Insert: MArcus Lattimore. For a late rounder? Well worth it. Adrian Peterson proves that we have the technology nowadays where major knee injuries arent career ending

FB (none)

TE (Need one, limited class) - Disagree. We dont use the ones we have. King + Housler is enough. Save the roster spot
-Zack Ertz (Stanford)
-Ryan Otten (San Jose St)

WR (Pass)

OT (Need one)
-Luke Joeckel (Texas A&M) - I disagree. Was not impressed by him. (I was however VERY impressed by his RT partner Matthews). Luke is good, not great. We need GREATNESS in the 1st round, and if that comes in the form of RT Matthews or ILB Manti Te'o, then so be it.
-Taylor Lewan (Michigan)
-Eric Fisher (Central Michigan)
-Jake Matthews (Texas A&M) ***** My choice for 1st or 2nd round pick. Elite RT talent. Massie proves RT's are just as important as LTs.
-Dallas Thomas (Tennessee)
-Lane Johnson (Oklahoma)
-David Quessenberry (San Jose St)

OG (go big or go home)
-Chance Warmack (Alabama)- Yes
-Jonathan Cooper (North Carolina)
insert: Larry Warford - Kentucky. I like this big summaB. He is the definition of a stonewall pass blocker. 6'3, 345. This dude is friggin husky. Nobody gets by him. Excellent lateral quickness. Powerful, powerful hands and anchor. Obviously, the 1 caveat is hes not the best run blocker because hes slow to get into the secondary. He is a bonafide pass blocker. But with that said, Id take him in a heartbeat. He can drop a few pounds and get better at run blocking, hes got the power. I love him as a pass blocker though. Fuggetaboutit.

OC (maybe)
-Travis Frederick (Wisconsin)
-Khaled Holmes (USC)

**Insert: G/C/T: Barrett Jones - Bama**. The ultimate swingman. Odds are, he will be snatched up in the top 10, and hes no joke. He can play all 3 positions very well, which is rare. Id like him at G, but keep in mind that I can easily swap him out at T or C if we have need. Very valuable pick because he provides so much flexibility.

DL (maybe) We can hold off on DL till next year. Thin class. Maybe replace Dan williams. Star Sotuleile (sp?) is "the best" DL this year and Im thoroughly under impressed with him.
-Margus Hunt (SMU)
-Devin Taylor (South Carolina)

DE/OLB (ton of players here)
-Jarvis Jones (Georgia) - Unless we are picking top 5, forgettaboutit. Be awesome though if we could get him. He might go #2 overall. Totally serious.
-Demontre Moore (Texas A&M)
-Sam Montgomery (LSU) - Im weary of LSU D line. Historically bust-tacular
-Alex Okafer (Texas)
-Travis Long (Washington St.)
-Corey Lemonier (Auburn) - Overrated. Nonono.
-Khalil Mack (Buffalo)
-Ezekiel Ansah (BYU) -FFFFF no. Hes the definition of "Project". The Patriots. Steelers. Ravens. Packers. They can afford to pick him up and groom him for 3 years. We cant. We need contributors NOW.
-Quanterus Smith (West Kentucky)

ILB (another good group, I like some smaller guys)
-Manti Te'o (Notre Dame) - Him and Jake Matthews are my picks. 5 stars.
-Arthur Brown (Kansas St) (if he was 30lbs heavier he would be w/ Te'o)
-Sean Porter (Texas A&M) (might be a D Washington type inside)
-Shayne Skov (Stanford) - Reminds me of Luke Kuechly. Maybe a mid rounder if available
-Kevin reddick (North Carolina)
-Jonathan Bostic (Florida)
-Bruce Taylor (V Tech)
-Kiko Alonso (Oregon)
Insert: Alec Ogletree. Georgia. I dont know if anyone watched that Georgia, florida game, but Ogletree dominated. If it werent for Jarvis Jones 3 sacks, Ogletree wouldve been the headliner. Very fast for a ILB. Hes also a talker. Hes a less stupid, more disciplined, more athletic Vontaze Burfict. Nasty hits. Mean streak. Hes exactly what we need. We have too many nice guys on our team.

CB (Mid to Late depth)
-Desmond Trufant (Washington)
insert: Xavier Rhodes - Florida State. PP Body type. Fast. Athletic. Seattle proves that big CBs can really make a secondary tough to deal with

S (Somewhere)
-Kenny Vaccaro (Texas)
-Eric Reid (LSU)
-TJ McDonald (USC)
-Tony Jefferson (Oklahoma)
-Shaun Williams (Georgia)
-John Boyett (Oregon)
insert: Robert Lester - Bama. Hes got that Mark Barron pedigree. Big, fast, instinctive. Hes not perfect right now, but he could still learn a thing or two from Adrian. Hed be a damn good pickup in the 3rd round or later.



Clearly, the biggest issue we have is so much need at 1 or 2 positions, and so few picks. Can you imagine being St Louis right now? Wow. They are going to get so much talent this year. IMO, we should mortgage next years 1st rounder, and grab an extra 1st this year. That way we can get both Matthews and Warmack in the 1st. Solidfy our line a little. Or Manti and Joeckle. Whoever. Theres just so much awesome talent and Im going to go nuts waiting for our 2nd round pick and 3rd round pick to come back around.

It looks to be a good draft for safeties and LB'sand the Cards need to draft some. I am not a fan of Lewan.

A couple RB's I like are the kid from Ok St. and Gillisee from Florida. But I agree, none before round 3.

No more small ILB's are needed. I think.

Well, the only one we have seems to work out pretty good.

Arthur Brown is a stud and is about 228lbs. He can play all three downs, tackles well, and can run. I know having two ILBs under 240 is not a great idea, but worst case he is a great nickel LB to pair with Washignton on third down who can run and blitz. If I can get a guy who looks like Manti Te'o on tape, less 30 lbs, in the 2nd round, I think we have to consider it.

Sean Porter is more of a mid round flier. Small guy who seemed to shoot gaps and make plays in teh backfield on few times I watched A&M. My point is if Washington goes down, we are very thin on athleticism in our ILB corp.

Are you down on Qbs Matt Barkley & Geno Smith?

Barkley is a QB who does everything average and will probably be just an average QB. We have that to some degree already in Kolb, and I want more from a QB prospect.

Geno is someone I just haven't watched enough, and who I think gets picked by Kansas City before we even have a chance at him, so I left him off.

Theres just so much awesome talent and Im going to go nuts waiting for our 2nd round pick and 3rd round pick to come back around.

Interested in your disagreement of Tyler Wilson.

Collin Klein is Tim Teabow lite. I want a QB more than an athlete.

Kenjon Barner: Explosive playmakers are something we lack on this team and Oregon backs do fine, they just get overdrafted. Barner would be a mid to late round player who can play on special teams, on passing downs, and make plays. Great value.

Marcus Lattimore: I am officially done with RBs who sustain multiple knee injuries in college. You can beat that drum solo.

TE: King is an over-rated blocker and limited athlete. Housler is a great athlete but limited blocker. Two TE sets help identify rushers and make protection packages easier. We need more than two and Jim Dray.Todd Heap should be gone.

Joeckel needs to get stronger but he recovers better than any OT that I have seen. Matthews needs to show better athleticism but has the bloodline.

Larry Warford will be a good OG, but he is too big for the Cardinals. Guys is 340+ and we already struggle with the lack of athleticism from our OGs.

Barrett Jones will be over-drafted IMO because he does everything ok. I would fine with him in the 3rd round, but not in the first.

I wouldn't spend over a 3rd on Ansah, but he is exactly the type of player that teams who go BPA get. Great athlete, solid work ethic, but needs refinement. If he is available in the 5th, he is a no brainer.

Xavier Rhodes is a nice player, but I can;t see the Cards taking a CB in the 2nd round.

Lester might be ok, but I am leary of S's who play on really good rush defenses. They generally don't have to cover for two long which can leave them exposed in the pros.

I have said in other posts, if we address QB elsewhere, I would totally be on board for trading a 2014 pick and our 2nd rounder to add both Jake Mathews and Chane Warmack. Take Matthews around 10, and then move up to 16-19 to grab Warmack.

Because he fits in with our recent string of crappy quarterbacks? Klein has no future as an NFL QB.
maybe yes maybe not..nostradamus
i just tell u i was one of the few to praise daryl washington 3 years a go..before they drafted him...i like watching clips about prospects..klein had a significant improve with his thrown accuracy,a qb must be able to move well also outside the pocket in this football

i think whisehunt would like a qb like collin klein

I think Whis wants a QB who can read defenses pre snap, and get the ball out on time in an accurate fashion. I can't say to this point, Klein has proven that.

Interested in your disagreement of Tyler Wilson.

- Hes Hot/Cold. Hes injured alot. If we want him, itll probably cost a 1st rounder, maybe 2nd. Either way, both are too much for him. We have too many needs to take a high draft shot on a "maybe he'll be good".

Collin Klein is Tim Teabow lite. I want a QB more than an athlete.

I say Klein because I do believe he will cost less than Tyler Wilson. Might be able to get Klein in the 3rd. Maybe 4th. Hes a little Tebowish, but the main difference is he has way better mechanics. Way better. Klein actually looks like a QB out there, who just happens to run alot. He accurate. Hes intelligent. Hes a giant like Skelton but way more athletic. They dont hand out Heismans to just anyone, hed be a good pickup. Round 3-4.

Kenjon Barner: Explosive playmakers are something we lack on this team and Oregon backs do fine, they just get overdrafted. Barner would be a mid to late round player who can play on special teams, on passing downs, and make plays. Great value.

Too many major needs to pick up a luxury guy. Hes flashy. Hes for highlight plays. We struggle with the friggin fundamentals on this team. Save the roster spot.

Marcus Lattimore: I am officially done with RBs who sustain multiple knee injuries in college. You can beat that drum solo.

If you are referring to Ryan Williams, RW brings his injuries on himself because he runs bigger than himself. He thinks he can drag guys when he cant. Lattimore is a big, strong guy. His injury was a freak accident. It wasnt wear and tear or ligament breakdown. So you cant say hes injury prone. And like I said, we have....the technology to rebuild him..bigger..stronger..faster, etc. lol. Im saying late rounder. He will be our O'Brien Schofield pick of 2013.

TE: King is an over-rated blocker and limited athlete. Housler is a great athlete but limited blocker. Two TE sets help identify rushers and make protection packages easier. We need more than two and Jim Dray.Todd Heap should be gone.

You said yourself this is a weak TE class. I dont know of anyone whos both a great blocker and great pass threat available. So with that said, we might as well stick with what we got. We wont need a great blocking TE if we draft more talent at T and G.....yeah?

Joeckel needs to get stronger but he recovers better than any OT that I have seen. Matthews needs to show better athleticism but has the bloodline.

I dont like 'recovery'. Thats like praising a guys make up speed after he gets smoked. I mean ill take him, but I dont get all this Jake Long type talk.

And Matthews more athletic? The 1 thing that stands out when I watch him is his speed. Hes got one of the quickest drop steps ive ever seen. He will never get beat by speed, thats for damn sure. Power rusher? I dont know, maybe, but he can get stronger. But as is, hes the best pure RT prospect in years. Most RTs are LT transfers. He is 100% RT. I love that. (And dont tell me about how Massie was also a RT. Massie is both weak, slow and unathletic).

Larry Warford will be a good OG, but he is too big for the Cardinals. Guys is 340+ and we already struggle with the lack of athleticism from our OGs.

Ive seen snyder get manhandled. Hes a weak chump. We need power. Warford is athletic, for a pass blocker. side-to-side, he is very fast. Im just saying, moving forward and blocking downfield is an issue. But who cares? We give up 6 sacks per game, lets focus on pass protection. Our other G, whoever that may be, can be our run blocking specialist. I like Warford. Just listen to that name! Larry WARFORD. This man was born to be a Guard in the NFL.


Barrett Jones will be over-drafted IMO because he does everything ok. I would fine with him in the 3rd round, but not in the first.

He is a little overrated, but not by much. He doesnt do everything "Ok", he does everything better than any guy we got on the Oline currently (which doesnt say alot, but still). Hes not reaching the middle of the 2nd.

I wouldn't spend over a 3rd on Ansah, but he is exactly the type of player that teams who go BPA get. Great athlete, solid work ethic, but needs refinement. If he is available in the 5th, he is a no brainer.

I wouldnt spend over a 5th on Ansah. "Refinement" is putting it nicely. How about an entire childhood of learning what the game of football is, like most NFL players do. For those who dont know, Ansah didnt know what Football was until someone said "Hey you are big, do you play football?". That was like 2 weeks before his 1st day of college. I highly doubt Ansah will ever be the BPA in the 5th rounder.



Xavier Rhodes is a nice player, but I can;t see the Cards taking a CB in the 2nd round.

I agree, Im just saying he is a great player who Id be happy to nab. But it shouldnt happen. Too many needs elsewhere.

Lester might be ok, but I am leary of S's who play on really good rush defenses. They generally don't have to cover for two long which can leave them exposed in the pros.

We have a good rush D. The important thing is we are taking a guy who can sit and learn. One of the very few spots on this roster we can afford that. Right now, he doesnt need to start. We can groom him. We have camp and practice so he can get used to the speed of the game and can cover guys like Housler. But hes a good pick. In a pinch, we could start him and hes got the physical abilities to be an Adub like enforcer.

I have said in other posts, if we address QB elsewhere, I would totally be on board for trading a 2014 pick and our 2nd rounder to add both Jake Mathews and Chane Warmack. Take Matthews around 10, and then move up to 16-19 to grab Warmack.

The right side of Our line would be set. Ooooh *shivers*. Well that feels too good to be true so I think we can agree itll never happen.

Unless I missed them, I didn't see any 'Bama' or LSU guys on the OT position. Not familiar with the names, but it sure seems like someone from these two teams would make it. I think LSU starting LT is out for the year though

Both LSU and Bama are defense specialists. They recruit the nations best HS D players. Lack on offense comparatively.

How many prolific QBs have been on Bama or LSU? Not many. They dont need dominant linemen.


With that said, DJ Fluker is the Bama LT. Not a bad choice.

Alex Hurst is LSU. Not bad either.


But compared to guys like Matthews and Joekle, these guys are lacking.

O-line first and foremost. QB, as much as people dont want to admit, is a distant second (or even third when considering the state of our running backs). You cannot put ANY QB, rookie or Kolb, behind this line moving forward.

On the QB note: if you hate Kolb, you're not going to like Barkley. And I firmly believe Geno Smith is a flash-in-the-pan. Wilson has the best chance for long-term success.

Give me Joekle in the first - as long as we don't grab Ryan Clady or Jake Long in free agency before hand.

**Insert: G/C/T: Barrett Jones - Bama**. The ultimate swingman. Odds are, he will be snatched up in the top 10, and hes no joke. He can play all 3 positions very well, which is rare. Id like him at G, but keep in mind that I can easily swap him out at T or C if we have need. Very valuable pick because he provides so much flexibility.

Well hell, that settles it. We will clearly reach for Jones...WhisCo loves multi-position linemen, and first round is where we love to reach.

Now that that's settled, who is the pick in round two?

He also has had concussion problems. He had one last year and missed the Alabama game this year because of one.

Umm, he's had three games this season alone over 70% completion %. Had 63% last season so I'm guessing he had many games over 60.

I haven't seen him this year and I took wonder about his height.

Here is what will probably be a pretty long list of players who could come out for the upcoming draft that I like. Also near each position I have my personal philosophy about when we should look at the position.

QB (take one high or almost not at all)
-Tyler Wilson (Arkansas)
-Jordan Rodgers (Vandy) (bloodline player, low risk)

RB (nothing pre round 3)
-Stepfan Taylor (Stanford)
-James Jammison (Rutgers)
-Giovanni Bernanrd (North Carolina)
-Kenjon Barner (Oregon)

Tyler Wilson is playing on a very bad team this year but he is still Tyler Wilson and will be a first round pick. Most of the writers I view have him in the top three QBs available. He is one tough guy who will stand in the pocket until the last second to get the ball off. Big arm. Accurate even on long throws. Throws a tight spiral. Good size and very smart and a leader. I would take him with my first pick if he is there. I have not seen much of the other QBs but have watched most all his games for the past three years.

This pretty much mirrors what I have heard and seen. The one area I am concerned with is his height. 6'1" isn't a deal breaker, but it doesn't make things easier on a QB.

Well hell, that settles it. We will clearly reach for Jones...WhisCo loves multi-position linemen, and first round is where we love to reach.

Now that that's settled, who is the pick in round two?

Dont get the wrong idea.

Be thrilled if we get B.Jones. If he stayed at LT his entire college career, he might the #2 LT in the draft. If he stayed at C his entire career, hed be the #1 C in the draft, if he stayed at G, hed probably be tied for #1 G in the draft with Chance Warmack.

Dont look at him like hes the swiss army knife of draft prospects. He does everything OK but nothing great.

Jones does everything great. Hed be a major upgrade at whatever position we put him in. LT or RT, hed be a lockdown guy. At G, hed be a dominant run blocker because hes very athletic. He has the talent to be a top C in the NFL.

Jones is a great pick

Colin Klein may be a typical Heisman winning QB. Great college QB, who will suck at worst or be mediocre at best, in the NFL.

Weak QB draft in 2013.

Wilson may be best of a mediocre group.
