an official "huh?" from me

I haven't read about him as a returner -- if he is, and he is good, then this is a good pick

but 3rd round seems high for a 4th WR

I just don`t see using a 3rd round pick on a damn WR.The kid might be good........................CB is a bigger need IMO.

I really like this kid---great hands and just produces. Kinda like a homeless man's Boldin. he's not nearly a strong, but much faster and is crazy dangerous in the open field.

We only had 3 WRs on the team, how was CB a bigger need??? We also needed a returner, so he fills both spots.

This was a need pick. We only had three WRs and no punt returner. We could not afford to have Breaston do it anymore with Q gone. Trust me, this kid's a player.

Great Pick, I called this one!!!!!!!!!!!!

This kid caught my eye a couple of weeks ago and I doubted he would be there when we picked in the third round.

He will be a guy teams will punt away from. Youtube this kid and just sit back and watch. He is a threat every time he touchs the ball. I'm sure Whiz already has more than a couple ideas of how to get this kid the ball in some space.

Gruden and Kiper speak very well of Roberts. Gruden called it a great pick by Arizona.

As noted, ESPN genuinely seems excited by this pick. Remark, give him some daylight and he's gone.

Would have liked this pick better if the Cards didn't burn the other third rounder for Washington. I'm on board though, just watched some youtube clips on him and he's fast and elusive. Hope they can snag a good CB tomorrow.

Cards WRs on roster 4-22-10
Larry Fitzgerald
Steve Breaston
Early Doucet
Onrea Jones
Ed Gant

While a WR can fill a need..............the same need could be filled later in the draft IMO.
DRC is returning from injury and McFadden played poorly last season.Leaving Midget Mike Adams and Toler as the primary backups.
Hope the Cards think CB in Rd 4.

I like the pick also. I'm thinking he starts opposite Fitz in 2 years on the outside.

My remarks from the draft thread....

Just got back from youtube.

We have found our punt returner.... I am still skeptical of his level of competition. It does look like he played Clemson a bit and came out looking good on the small set of highlights I saw.

Unfortunately I saw more wiggle, and elusiveness than overall speed. Will he turn into our Wes Welker? Maybe. I do not see him as a deep threat like Wallace.

Also, I don't see Hester like ability. Especially since I remember Hester at Miami. But being Hester-like still puts him in the Welker category for returners. And that is where I think he will end up. Our version of Welker from a receiver and returner standpoint.

I think the coaches have high hopes for Toler. I know I do. I think he will be the starter opposite DRC sometime next season.

Onrea Jones and Gant are not guys you want playing for you on Sundays. I agree we need a CB, I didn't trade away the other 3rd rounder. :)

We only have 1 CB on this team. DRC. The rest are about as good as you or me out there.

That said, I actually like this pick, even though I prefer corner.

The guy led the nation in punt returns last year and he's lightening fast. Great pick.
