Fitzgerald, Kirk, and Nelson.

Sounds like a law firm.

More like: Butler, Kirk & Fitzgerald...that's a law firm name.

Apt comparison. Without the crazy baggage.

Didn't he also have the migraines that caused him to miss games?

Best wide receiver the Cardinals have drafted since Steve Breaston AND he may be a fantastic punt returner. Home run pick. Was praying he'd fall to us.

Over past six seasons, Cardinals have ranked 24th, 31st, 9th, 24th, 30th, 22nd in punt return average. Part of the reason they drafted Christian Kirk.

WR Christian Kirk said he used to dream of playing for the Cardinals. Now he’s a member of the team.

New #AZCardinals WR @ChristianDavon2 said he'll wear No. 13. Kurt Warner's old number. "So I've got to rock it well."

(Kirk once played youth football with Warner's son.)

Christian Kirk said he considered going to UCLA with Josh Rosen out of high school. Calls him a good friend and the “best QB in the draft.”

Amos is gone, right?

Yep, the Browns pounced all over that talent.

He'll fit right in over there

And now Kirk and Fitz are teammates. "It's all super crazy to me," Kirk said.

.@kurt13warner reaction to Christian Kirk becoming a Cardinal and wearing No. 13: “I love Christian as a person and a player! I would love to have him join the Cards 13 club!”

He definitely gives a good presser. His demeanor is a lot like Fitz. I've seen nfl comps of sterling shepard and Randall cobb. Personally, I see Doug Baldwin.

Snoops boy got a scholarship to play at UCLA. He, Rosen and Kirk knew each other from camps.

I laughed at his weaknesses listed on his draft profile on NFL.com. He has a short catch radius and he has to have the ball thrown near his body, needs to play with better knee bend and takes questionable angles on returns.

Still a little bummed about him not going to ASU but staying home as pro is more important, great pick. I was torn between him and Josh Jackson but GB made the decision for us, taking Jackson 2 spots before us.

Yep because most WR's like the ball thrown nowhere near their bodies.

The angles thing is odd too, unless I'm supposed to believe if he took better angles he'd have like 20 TD's on kick returns instead of I think 8.

My one concern would be on 3-4 of those TD punt returns he outran the angle so maybe the scouting report is you can do that in college against New Mexico State but you can't do that in the NFL?

 

[Russ Smith]

I had no clue that the Rosen and Kirk families, and their boys, were already good friends.

This is "pinch me" type of stuff.

UCLA heavily recruited Kirk in HS so they likely met on the recruiting trail too.

He did mention that. Said he and Rosen talked about playing together at UCLA.

This kid had so many connections with the Cardinals franchise already. I can't remember a similar pick having that many connections with the Cardinals. It's really cool and exciting.
