2015 2nd round pick is Markus Golden DE

[Mainstreet]

Yeah but nothing about him really stands out for them to do this. Wonder what they see in him?

I don't know. However, I hope the Cardinals are not throwing darts at a board.

 

[B-Dogg]

You guys are hilarious he has yet to play a down in the NFL and you are already calling it a horrible pick and a bust. You can like another player better at this pick or not but to have decided the player has no chance and is a bust is just dumb.

Mel's number 19 still there at 62... way to go Mel

Second round bust, Keim doesn't disappoint. Now, on to the small school third round pick we have never heard of...

Voice of reason.

I think everyone is just annoyed that AP isn't a cardinal yet so every pick will be highly scrutinized.

 

[Ed Burmila]

Levar Fisher. Johnny Rutledge. Cody Brown. Kevin Minter. Markus Golden.

What do all those names have in common.

terrible pick
stay awake to watch this selection ruin my day

 

[JerkFace]

On paper Keim drafts have been disappointing, unlike the Graves drafts which always hit it out of the park on paper. I think I will just trust that the people who have got us this far know what they are doing.

If Golden ends up in Minny, then it is a brilliant freaking pick!

its more then that split. we can't just continue to draft the exact same type of OLB and then watch the same results over and over again, here our FO talk about getting speed off the edge... and then drafting the same high-motor/no speed guy again.

it's tiresome and head-scratching. asking us to have faith that THIS is the OLB who will be the guy when we keep whiffing badly at that position, for the same reason continually hurts my brain... and the team.

 

[ThunderCard]

It's not that we don't like him.. It's where he was picked that is pissing everyone off. 4th-6th round talent in the 2nd round. It was a reach when you had

Randy Gregory
Jaelen Strong
Eli Harold
Tevin Coleman
and a few others still available

Our ability to get to the QB last year was horrible. I think everyone was hoping we would have a pass rusher, cb, or a rb

totally agree
we need a speed rusher and they draft a slow high motor guy,probably he is a good locker room guy
we are looking for boy scout

This is the most depressingly dead on post I've read in quite a while.

slow and short arms

I agree with this 100%. This pick makes little sense for a team searching for speed on defense.

4.67 40 for a guy who weighs 260+ pounds isn't slow.

Yeah they even said they wanted to add athleticism and speed at LB this offseason yet they make this pick when there were more athletic and speedy olb's available.

 

[WildBB]

I guess they got him to replace Shaughnessey eventually to set the strong side edge.

I had him in the 4th Rd. They really must have liked his passion and commitment.

NFL scouts know a little more than we do. We'll have to see him produce.

Not a bust but overdrafted. Chances are his there in Rd 3.

 

[Proximo]

That is worse than acho's 40 and he was slow.

We just drafted his clone only 2 rounds earlier. It makes zero sense.

then he slow also on tape

The keep preaching speed at edge rusher & draft size as the #1 trait. Never gonna learn obviously.

Solid player but overdraffted Imo. Rd 1 & 2 picks need to be studs.

 

[NMCard]

Good pick- up by the Cards. The kind of player that fits the winning program the Cards have gave the fans over the past two seasons.

 

[Joe Mama]

I'm okay with the first-round pick. This one I just don't get. As everyone is saying it's more of the same.
