I'm an OSU fan and don't like that. I think Egbuka and JTT are the most risky and over-valued guys in the OSU draft class.

I am ok with going RB again in round 3 depending on who is there. It's a really good class and Benson needs competition.

 

[Chopper0080]

I can't take the PFF mock draft simulator seriously when it is giving Harmon a 3rd round grade.

You don’t like what the Cards have?

Uhhh lol

Like them okay. But with JC's age and play style we are one solid hit or one fluffy Twinkie away from Benson being our bell cow. I like him, but he has not fully proven anything...and if he becomes the bell cow we need a guy to rest him now.
Round three seems a bit early to me but if you want to lean in to the strength of the draft you would be considering drafting a RN at some point.

I think that would be too early with Conner back for another year. Barring injuries, the guy would see very little playing time. Get everyone's favorite, Skatteboo, in round 4-5. He'll at least make an impact on special teams.

 

[DVontel]

We shouldn’t be drafting an RB at all this year.

I don't trust what the Cardinals have and I really like this RB draft class. Obviously, it depends on what other players are available, but I don't believe it is out of the question. Especially when you factor in how important running the ball is to the Cardinals success.

Conner received a well deserved extension but his age is a factor.

Benson is an absolute unknown at this point. His play in year 1 was very up and down, he didn't contribute much as a pass catcher, and he couldn't finish the year even with a minimal work load. If he has a Ojulari-esque sophomore campaign, you are desperate to get a RB in 2026.

Demercado is a nice player. Money is good. Absolutely could be upgraded.

So, our offensive MVP is a RB and is 29/30. It's a really good draft class. Every other RB on our roster is either limited or an unknown.

Just my opinion.

well, if you want to lean into the strength of the draft

If Monti is doing his job, we should have any positions where we are desperate for need to fill with a 3rd round pick. And once again, when the draft class gives you a stacked position group, it is generally a good practice to snag a player from it.

 

[Chopper0080]

Why are you in my head?

 

[Chopper0080]

Just off the cuff and looking at this draft class as a whole. RB, ILB, and EDGE might be the positions with the best options available in round 3. I think all of the DL will have been picked over. I don't love the potential OL options available at this point. WR is meh. CB is a no. S is a meh. TE is a no.

I think that would be too early with Conner back for another year. Barring injuries, the guy would see very little playing time. Get everyone's favorite, Skatteboo, in round 4-5. He'll at least make an impact on special teams.

I think RB injuries are kinda a given. I see no reason a RB in this draft class couldn't beat out Benson or Demercado for snaps.

 

[Chopper0080]

Here is an example.

LeQuint Allen - Syracuse - 6'0 195. Can pass protect, catch the ball, line up in multiple positions.

He might be available in round 3. He offers a lot in terms of a player and could easily supplant Demercado's 20% of snaps and then keep Dallas as a special teamer and wouldn't need a Michael Carter or Tony Jones to handle run down snaps.

 

[Card'em]

We shouldn’t be drafting an RB at all this year.

I'm okay drafting a RB, as long it is in rounds 4 or 5. Drafting a RB in rounds 1-3 with our other needs at D-Line, edge, O-line, WR would be roster malfeasance.

 

[DVontel]

If Monti is doing his job, we should have any positions where we are desperate for need to fill with a 3rd round pick. And once again, when the draft class gives you a stacked position group, it is generally a good practice to snag a player from it.

If Monti is doing his job, we should not even think about going after any RB at all this year. There are 8 positions I would draft before drafting an RB & 3 of them are apart of a good class. You are right about the desperate for need part. However, we are not desperate in need for a RB.

 

[football karma]

at this part of the draft process -- its interesting to think about a highly ranked non-need players and if they happen to fall to #16 -- do you take them?

Tetairoa McMillan, WR Arizona

granted, its hard to imagine, but the draft is pretty volatile

If I were to guess the 8

1 - DL
2 - EDGE
3 - ILB
4 - OT
5 - IOL
6 - WR
7 - QB

Maybe you split IOL. I don't necessarily disagree with those positions, but depending on FA and the early rounds, DL may not be an option. WR? Yes we need a speed element, but if they add one in FA, it's more likely the RB available would be a better prospect and more utilized than a WR in round 3.

IOL and ILB are probably the two spots that could still have equitable talent to RB in round 3. EDGE, maybe could, depends on the demand.

I would, yes, but not Jeanty, Starks or Warren. Which sucks because I like all of those players, but between positions and need, you either trade down or pass.

 

[TheCardFan]

1 - DL
2 - EDGE
3 - ILB
4 - OT
5 - IOL
6 - WR
7 - QB

Respectfully, I would say we don't need rookies at OT, IOL, or QB this year.

We do need a RTOF starter (not sure this is the right year to get that - don't want to use a top draft pick) and a veteran G and QB.

Can he handle a free man blitzing?
