to take the thread in a diff draft related direction:

lets say the Cards two picks end up straddling 10th overall like they sit today: 9th and 12th

And they have the oppty to trade both of those up to 3rd to take MHJ. (this assumes Murray comes back and looks good)

do ya?

There will be other explosive pass-catchers in that range.

Lol @ Caleb Williams. Fools gold.
I'll caution you to not downgrade him too much. He's a really good QB prospect, the best in years, but so is Drake Maye.

The difference is that I can see Maye make a ton of NFL type plays every week. You see him have to deal with actual adversity.

We need a Devone Achane. I was hoping we would luck into drafting him this past draft. We have not had an electric, explosive RB like that.... I don't know. Ever it seems like.

If he can't change how he plays, he won't stay healthy or be successful. Very little of his game translates. He has talent, not questioning that.

Terry Metcalf probably the last and he wasn't nearly as fast as Achane.

CBS showed the top 3 recorded speeds by a player this year, all 3 by Achane, the fastest 21.93 MPH.

I was actually amazed that Tyreek got caught on his long catch and run but you can see he was exhausted, he was still tired on the picksix a few plays later couldn't chase the guy down.

He was an Olympic potential track sprinter before he went to football full time.

Also, the Austin airport is maybe America's worst. Texas barbecue is overrated.

I'm rooting for the meteor. Wipe both these programs off the map as well as the Big 12 while it still exists. Can't wait for these teams to be Redneck Vandy in the SEC very soon. They'll be as forgotten as A&M.
No way. Philly’s airport is like from 1950s. It’s dark, dingy, feels dirty. Like if there was an airport designed by clinically depressed people. And Miami’s is always under construction. Which makes it a maze that takes 30 minutes to get anywhere without any shops or food for miles. Those airports suck.

Newark is the worst and it isn't even close.

My daughter is a flight attendant and she says Oakland is funky and you don't dare go outside after dark.

On bad airports??
My vote goes to vegas... I'm autistic and the noise is horrible...audio noise, visual noise....very overwhelming.

Denver is a close second with the subway bound for nowhere you have to ride to a gate.

Marvin is faster than all of them at 22.2 mph.

That's Reel Analytics which isn't the same service the NFL uses. Harrison Jr is amazing I hope we get him but I would bet anything he's NOT as fast as Achane, or Hill. If you look at his HS sprint numbers they're not as fast as Achane or Hill.

FWiW Reel Analytics has Achane at 22.2 in 2021 on a KOR for a TD and if you watch the video he's coasting. Not saying MHJ is not fast just that my guess is Reel Analytics tends to have faster speeds than the service the NFL uses

This WR class!

Would be sweet to get a #1 WR with our 2nd round pick and get 2/3 of below in round 1:

Dallas Turner
Olu Fashanu
Best DT or CB
