We are lucky to have a former offensive lineman as a manager

We all thought we got a steal but looks like the other 31 teams were right.

Thank God he was NFL ready.

All of the experts said he would be a first round pick if it weren't for his health issues. I think he had issues picking up a playbook. Not sure what he had for one in college.

He was placed higher in the draft by most scouts assuming he could pass a physical. I can’t fault Keim for taking the gamble. There aren’t any sure things at that point.

I can't blame him for this one. Thought he was a steal at that spot. Boy, was I wrong. I'll continue to blame Keim for Chad Williams, and other mistakes in the draft, but not this one.

I don't know if I blame Keim but this is twice I've been told of serious health issues about a player the Cards have drafted and both times neither made the team out of camp. The other was the WR from A&M a few years ago that had serious concussion issues.

Also, why are people on Chad Williams? He's a 3rd round pick from a small school. Hell, 1st round picks from big schools don't get on the field often for the Cards their rookie year. Give the guy a chance.

I didn’t realize that as a 4th round pick, he didn’t even make the team....what happened to him? His head wasn’t in the game? I thought he was one of the better guards in the draft. Maybe he got wind of that CTE report and just lost the passion.

I think arguments works if you have ever drafted an offensive linemen who has panned out...Keim has not in 5 years.

You make a good point.....with the exception of DJ Humphries. Not saying Humphries is an all-pro, but he has at least "panned out". But, among the MANY offensive linemen Keim has drafted, it is all but one at this point. Not good.

IMHO. He just was not strong enough, or a good enough athlete. He got BLOWN UP in the preseason, and when I say BLOWN UP, we are taking de-cleated sailing through the air.

His career in the NFL does not look like it will happen. He is 23 years old, and that is "iffy" for gaining strength and some coordination.

Offensive lineman are just a flat out total crap shoot now they used to be the safest picks in the draft now it's the highest gamble.

Cam Erving was thought to be a hall of fame type center coming out and he might be the worst lineman in the NFL.

Cooper and Warmack were the two highest rated guards to come out in like 20 years and they both suck

Greg Robinson was the second pick in the draft and he's been horrible

Because the pick was so obviously bad in a high round where we could've gotten real, immediate impact talent. I hope he comes good, but lord, that was a moronic pick.
