Slow, and IMO undersized for the interior of the line.

Imagine... Thinking being 6'4 and 303lbs being undersized for a center.

 

[BritCard]

This would be very bird city to draft a guard and move him to center when there was a center on the board who is ranked higher and more tailor made to start right away.

He's played center before.

Mediocre player with poor balance. He’s chiefly a drive blocker in the run game. I don’t see any center potential. He’s smart enough to know proper positioning and technique, but doesn’t display them. I can only conclude he just doesn’t care. I’m sorry to say it but since round 1 this draft makes to sense to me.

I would have taken Wypler, but glad we addressed interior OL

because what this team needs is guards and linebackers

Good guards & linebackers. This isn’t one of those.

Hope our front office knows alot better than everyone else. Monti must have trades already in his pocket.

 

[Harry]

Has played some center… just saying.

Is that like a little pregnant.

 

[Harry]

Does say he started a few games at center while at UCLA. So there is some experince there at the position.

Granted I haven't scouted all the players in the draft and think he would've been available later. But I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Still 4 more picks left.

Like as a UDFA

I love how the same people on this board after every pick or trade let it be known they don't like what the Cards did. No on this board has watched all these young men play a lot. It makes me laugh because I know what the reaction will be before reading the thread. No one knows how these draft picks or trades will pan out, but I like what the Cardinals are trying to do.

 

[Harry]

Strange as it may seem they are ignoring the key piece of the Oline

Wave goodbye to Murray, though it will take 2 years. Maybe their insurance kicks in if he’s hurt again.

Yeah, they called him a mauler on thr NFL network and looked plenty big in the video.

This is kind of where I am also.

Imagine thinking he's slow

I meant thinker. I should have clarified that.

He can run in a straight line fine. My issue is football intangibles.

Testing is not football unfortunately.

Agreed! The only pick I'm skeptical is the Stanford kid due to 3 straight years of missing half the season or more from injuries. Otherwise, we ha e no clue how these guy will pan out and what plan this team had going in to draft.

Maybe…MAYBE the plan is to go out and sign a free agent center like Jones.
I know. I know. I’m an idiot for thinking this.
