Smacks of desperation

Smacks of building a great team.

Yesterday people were throwing fits because we didn't make any aggressive moves. Now we do make an aggressive move for a guy that has been high up on their list for a long time and people are throwing fits about that.

lol

There's aggressive and there's dumb big difference

 

[DVontel]

Didn't give up that much. Like the pick. Don't love the trade but like the pick.

Exactly. Moved up & gave up this & next year's 4th. 6th this year & gained a 7th. I don't mind the trade at all, especially for a prospect like Budda.

Overall Football Traits
Production 1
Height-Weight-Speed 3
Durability 2
Intangibles 2
1= EXCEPTIONAL2= ABOVE AVERAGE3= AVERAGE4= BELOW AVERAGE5= MARGINAL

Safety Specific Skills


Instincts/Recognition 1 Excellent instincts in zone coverage and in run support. Fast eyes. Consistently diagnoses plays early and always seems to be around the ball.

Cover Skills 2 Lack of size could be an issue versus bigger WRs/TE's in the NFL, but rarely had trouble matching up one-on-one in college. Very good range in zone coverage. Good recovery speed.

Ball Skills 3 Knows when to attack the ball and when to attack the target. Inconsistent hands. Average ball production with 19 PBUs and five INTs in three seasons. Does a good job of punching at the ball while still wrapping up as a tackler (three career forced fumbles).

Run Support 2 Only knock here is lack of size. Otherwise, he's a highly effective run supporter with elite open-field tackling skills for his size. His unique trait is his instincts in pursuit. Takes excellent angles and has an impressive knack for knowing when/how to either take on blockers or slip.

Ran a 4.3 40 how does he get a 3 on speed?????

 

[BillsCarnage]

He's only 5'9".

Yeah. He's a great athlete, but drafting these short safeties makes me nervous. I have flashbacks of Badger trying to cover Jimmy Graham in that NO game his first season.

Size. He is a 5'9 safety

 

[Dback Jon]

They did say before the draft they wouldn't be afraid to use a next year's pick because they figure to have 3rd or 4th rounders as comp picks

I don't think giving two 4ths and a sixth (one forth is replaced by a comp pick) is a big deal for a guy you know you really want. 7 rookies aren't making the team imo, didn't last year either

Height-Weight-Speed was the measure, and he is 5'9

Bingo. Free collateral from losing Jefferson

I do not know if our comp picks have been figured out, but I do not think it was a lot if they think the guy is special and any comparisons to Honey Badger is not too bad at all. This is what I love... yes we traded, but seeing the Cardinals be aggressive for a guy they believe in is something I seldom saw from this organization, I am digging this draft so far

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Keim said multiple times he would be using later picks to move up. This isn't surprising.

I'm not mad at the pick. Just don't like giving up the other picks.

 

[Jay Cardinal]

Not sure I would have traded up, but I do like the pick. Should really help in the secondary. Cards needed to reload on defense and got two real good weapons.

 

[Ronin]

YESSSSSS!

He has been my 2nd round pick for the Cardinals forever!

I'm so excited with this pick!!!!!!!

This.

 

[BigRedRage]

Another shrimp safety. Wow.

I wonder if he will be primarily nickel, we do play 4 safeties a lot

Also.... as teams go..... We ABSOLUTELY make our picks based on NEED. Not pure BPA.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Our first two picks are really really fast on defense. He is considered a nickle corner btw.

 

[WildBB]

Since they went position, I'd have preferred Lamp there. Would hsve Solidified the line.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Playmaker. Mayock says his football speed seems more like 4.3s

Absolutely.

 

[BillsCarnage]

Wonder if he could also be insurance for Badger with his knees.

 

[b8rtm8nn]

Good - like the kid and like the aggressive attitude.

I would rather finish this draft with 5 picks that we like and can make the team, rather than 7 with some hoping to be on the PS.
