2022 Draft Needs

[jf-08]

Cards need to hit on several picks in next years draft. (Which is not encouraging).

Immediate needs:

OG
DT
DE
OT
WR

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

That’s a good list. I don’t think we need WR as hip will be back and we best hope Rondale can actually play. Another vet signing will solidify that position - for now. We need a pass rusher OLB. I’d add center so we aren’t at the mercy of Garcia’s snaps when Hudson misses time next season (older vet and all). Likely need a rb as unlikely to resign both Edmonds and Conner. Our TEs ain’t getting any younger either. Sheesh, we need a TON.

 

[overseascardfan]

CB is definitely a need, only 2 under contract for next year and not sold on Murphy as #1 CB. Also, OLB is Jones leaves.

WR

OG
OT
DT
EDGE (Kennard, Golden and ?)
CB (only two on the roster)
RB (neither Edmonds or Conner on roster)
TE (none on the roster)

WR should be a late round or low free agency need. Probably head into the season with Hopkins, Wesley, and Moore if we want to upgrade the offensive line and retain 1 FA RB and TE.

I think Allen Robinson would be a good 1 yr vet pickup
I believe marco and Byron( new deal on horizon ? ) with a vet pickup solidifies this group. Dont be afraid of bring back hamilton

Jones walks , thats no big deal. Id like to see them draft his replacement in first round.

Guard may be where they need to spend

 

[SECTION 11]

I’d like to see a dominant DT. We are going to get run over in the playoffs.

 

[Chopper0080]

I know that Kliff loves spread formations but from what I have seen from Kyler this year, re-signing Ertz and Conner is probably better than re-signing Kirk and Green. Same with adding to the offensive line vs WR.

The big question is going to happen with the defense. Simmons and Collins are going to have to play but neither look to be an answer to our issues on the d-line or edge. Personally, if we kept Vance, I would give him all the Joe Walker's he could ever want outside of adding another DB. If he complained I would bring up his inability to get anything out of high draft picks.

We are paying big money for two dominant DTs in Phillips and Watt. Just not getting the production. That is the biggest thing with the Rams. They gave up a ton for Ramsey and are paying a bunch for him and Donald but they also dominate games. Guys aren't doing that in Vance's scheme.

What makes you believe that Keim can find a replacement for Chandler Jones in round 1 or that Vance would play him if Keim could?

We are going to need more fire power than that at WR.. Wesley ? Really?

Moore I do like but no clue if he can become a number 2.

Thinking about all the current playoff teams if we had Hop, Wesley and Moore - don’t think there is a team that would have less fire power at WR. Also noting, our Oline is still worse than every playoff team by a mile.

 

[DaHilg]

with that said..I’d rank in this order;

OG
DT
DE
WR
OT

I personally don’t have interest in resigning Jones, Kirk or Green at the prices they will command. Which would open cap room to address some of this.

Says a lot about our GM that our wrs and oline both suck compared to playoff competitors.

Moore averaging 8.1 yards per catch. SMDH. He actually has more YAC 438 than total yards 435 which says all you to know about the distance of his routes.

Something tells me aj green ain’t gonna command the cheddar he just took from the cardinals.

OT
OG
DT
Speedy OLB

Having the combo Keim Joseph the logic says trading the pick for a veteran

 

[juza76]

Murray seems to have a different pocket presence after an injury
Two years in a row we witnessed it
Get him extra comfortable, one big free agent offensive lineman and the first round pick too

 

[Card'em]

I'm usually all over the upcoming draft and Cardinal roster needs this time of year, but with this year's team it was different....until it wasn't. I was so excited about the Cardinals being in the playoffs and potentially the Superbowl that I wasn't even thinking of the draft.

Well after the Cardinals dismal play the last 3 weeks, I'm back to thinking about the draft. Watching the Cardinals on Saturday and then watching the Cowboys on Sunday, it was obvious that we won't have a prayer against the Cowboys, or for that matter the Buccaneers, so it's back to the draft.

Contrary to most, I don't think Defensive line is our highest priority. I was fairly impressed with Rashard Lawrence and Leki Fotu against the Colts, and along with Allen, Watt, and Phillips(I know injury concerns with Watt and Phillips) I think I'd priortize other postions higher.

For me it's"

OG
OLB
CB
WR

Honestly, with how Kyler is passing, it doesn't really matter. We are better off running the ball more and having him pass less. Also, he seems to like to throw to Conner and Ertz more than AJ Green (Ertz has only 5 less catches) and Kirk kinda sucks.

At this point I believe we are closer to the Ravens offensive style than the Chiefs. Taking the ball out of Kyler's hands seems to be the best formula if we want to be competitive at the end of the year.

This is where I land. Re-sign Ertz and Conner. Sign a guy like Brandon Scherff and draft an offensive lineman in round 1 and another later.

Agree, without Hopkins we're going to have to depend on Conner and Edmonds for the lions share of our offense. We'll go as far as our ability to utilize those two effectively in the playoffs.

 

[Chopper0080]

If Vance is still here I just don't really care about adding any big defensive pieces because he will underutilize them and I think protecting Kyler and running the ball are just more important than giving him more weapons at WR.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

I think WR,DL and CB are the biggest needs. I don’t hate the OL with Hudson in there. I think another year of adding strength will do Josh Jones wonders.

They need another playmaker opposite of Hopkins. Moore is nothing but a gadget player like Tavon Austin.

I’d love to see the Cards get their hands on Jameison Williams but he’ll be long gone. Chris Olave is going to be a very good player. His numbers were down this year but that’s more a result of CJ Stroud targeting his best friend Smith-njgbe over Olave.

The big DL from Georgia would be awesome but he’ll be gone most likely too.

I’d add CB, OLB, & maybe RB & TE. Essentially almost every position. Good year for best available player.

 

[az jam]

They need to resign TE Ertz and a get a solid WR like Robinson. DT is a big need on defense along with a CB. Also got to get a good backup Center.

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

We need big hard nosed bullies in the trenches, no more wasting picks on 5'8" WRs. That's not how you win.
