Is he tall enough to be an NFL TE? Is he a willing blocker?

Who cares what position he plays as long as he’s getting the ball. He just moves differently.

Fools gold.

Best WR core in the nation making him look good.

Reminds me a lot of Jeremy Shockey but a bit faster.

My question has to do with which position he will play in the NFL. If as a TE he'll be defended, I'm guessing, by a safety or even a LB. But if he's a WR, he'll be defended by a CB. Don't know if that will make a difference, but it might. I'm sure he'll go in the first round, and if miss out on the QB (Williams) and the WR (MHJ), would Bowers be your pick over one of the top OT's?

Wow, never knew he was a TE. He looked small on TV yesterday. I thought he was more like Cooper Kupp.

 

[gimpy]

Woah! Are people on here actually advocating drafting a tight end with our first pick?

Bowers is an H-Back in the NFL...

 

[GatorAZ]

My biggest fear with Bowers is that he’s on roids. His athleticism just looks unnaturally great and he’s already going bald.

Has an H-Back been drafted in the 1st round?

Don't think so

Arent they all?

He's between 240-250.

There is a reason he is so highly touted. He might be the best college TE ever.

Anyone who watched Daniels at ASU knows what that guy is all about.

 

[TheCardFan]

Another quality WR to watch...

the game yesterday cured me of taking a TE, no matter how highly rated, in round 1

the Cards D so badly needs: CBs, interior defensive lineman, and another pass rusher

Agreed.

Sign me up for interior pass rushers. The cupboard is pretty bare, though Ledbetter has played pretty well so far this year.

A mixture of the great Antonie Gates, Gronk and Shockey. I tend to agree. He is a stud blocker, route runner with speed and seperation ability. Top that with his amazing catch radius and tackle breaking ability unlike our current starting TE. But with that said, our defense is pretty bare and we need an infusion of a lot of talent on that side of the ball. I would love to have Bowers, but not sure that would be in the best of the team given our deficiencies on defense.

 

[Card'em]

I'd add inside linebacker to the grocery list of needs for the defense. Woods and Barnes are "run of the mill" guys that you find in free agency every year.

one of the differences yesterday was that Purdy didnt get ANY interior pass rush pressure

not that the outside stuff was great, but he didnt have anyone putting pressure on him in his face

ZerJhan (sp) Newton from Illinois is probably the best, disruptive interior guy

that said: today Rallis is asking his interior guys to occupy blocks in the running game -- and that really isnt Newton's game

Right...that's all you really need. Just draft a fourth round ILB every year or so until you find a good one.

I don't know if the Cardinals have any players on the DLine who can do anything but occupy blocks TBH.

I think Ledbetter is having a good year. He should be kept long term.
