2013 NFL/Cards Draft Thread

[Bodha]

Might as well block me too because if K9 isn't calling you on your inaccurate statements, I will.

Being off by 1 season is call for me being inaccurate? This is a forum, not a friggin thesis paper.


I didnt block him for this alone, this dude lives to bitch on the internet. He follows me around waiting to jump on the most insignificant of errors I make.
Im one of the youngest of all the grown men on this site, and Im the one who has to make moves (like blocking guys) to avoid flame wars? Its embarassing.

If I wanted lip from you, Id rattle my zipper.

Careful. This is a personal attack. Consider this a warning.

Dig it. Thats why I blocked him to prevent anything else.




But K9 has a smart ass comment for every thing I say. I dont mind disagreeing.

I welcome civil arguments.

But everything he says just drips with a dick attitude that invites flame wars so it goes both ways. I apologize for the disruption.

Dockett
Lenon
Holliday
Eason
Rhodes
Wilson

and then James Sanders is 29. I guess I should have stated I think we are old in some key positions. DL we have three 30+ players and limited depth after them. At S, three of the five players are over 29, and two of those are free agents with limited depth behind them. Lenon is old and I'm not a believer in either Reggie Walker or Stewart Bradley. So, yes, the core of our defense is young but we are old on both the defensive line and at safety, and have no replacement for Paris Lenon on our roster.

Maybe, but if there are two positions where you can afford to go the cheap free agent route, it's ILB and Safety. Those are the two cheapest positions to get quality players in free agency. Wilson's under contract, but I think that Rhodes is a must-sign.

According to Football Outsiders: "As for 'non-skill players,' research we did in 2007 for ESPN the Magazine suggested that defensive ends and defensive backs generally begin to decline after age 29, linebackers and offensive linemen after age 30, and defensive tackles after age 31."

Wilson is clearly a concern, and we have young players in the pipeline at safety in Rashard Johnson and Justin Bethel. I'm not high on Johnson, but you have to give some of these picks time to develop on your roster.

At the defensive line, we have David Carter waiting in the wings, and Nick Eason and Vonnie Holliday have combined for about 23 snaps per game (including a game or two when Dockett was out). I'm not going to stay up at night worrying about how we're going to replace them.

Haven't been able to watch football on Saturdays. How has Te'o looked? I figure the Heisman hype is a bit much but how would he fit next to D-Wash? Would it be a waste of his skill set? Thx!

He'd be the ideal player next to Washington, or any LB for that matter. Heck, I wanted the Cards to draft him last year but he stayed in school. Without a doubt Te'o is the best LB in the draft. He's probably the best defensive player in the draft but won't be the first one off the board because he plays ILB.

Btw, I wish John Simon, from OSU, would fit the Cards defensive scheme. He's the best player in the Big 10 this year, not that that is saying alot. I keep seeing Jonathon Hankins as a top 10 pick and it's not even comparable to who the better player is. Simon is going to be a steal for some team in round 2 or 3.
