Best available day two

[Harry]

I agree, Harry. I feel like Joey Porter has very, very good value at this spot, and they could most like find a C, who is also a good value pick, later on - for example with one of their many third round picks.

I don't know if you like Porter, but the point is to take the better value here, and come back to solve another problem later. And certainly, if that value pick is a C, and then a CB or else later, then that is just as fine.

Porter is talented but not the ballhawk the Cards need. Those guys are gone if they had cover skills too

 

[Chopper0080]

My top round 2 options right now

John Michael Schmitz - C
Joe Tippmann - C
Matthew Bergeron - OL
Keion White - DL
Keannu Benton - DT
Joey Porter Jr - Cb (don't love the lack of production)
Brian Branch - DB (DB but don't know where he plays...I think he is a S)

 

[BritCard]

I just don’t want to settle. i want a strong and smart snot blowing big nasty ass center. Someone who isn’t a pushed back but still standing type. We had one back in the day and he wasn’t strong enough at the point of contact.

I like Olusegun Oluwatimi. I think he's really undervalued and can possible be had mid to late 3rd.

Bergeron seems redundant to Paris, but I have heard that he might land at guard long term. Are we shifting Pugh to center then? I doubt we draft three OL, but maybe.

DJ Turner if they go CB

 

[QuebecCard]

They can't fit every hole in the draft and they would be silly to force it.

Don't be surprised if they don't pick up a center. Ben Jones is still out there in FA if that happens. He can fill a hole for a year.

Ricky Stromberg (late 3rd)

 

[BurqueCardFan]

Draft Levis. Play him if Kyler isn’t ready. Trade him for a boatload next year.

Haha. I'll admit, I had the same thought.
Draft best available player. Could be the next Aaron Rodgers.

 

[BritCard]

Ricky Stromberg (late 3rd)

Barely looked at him. Will check him out.

It should be said though, all these guys further back ain't going to be good enough to start year 1. Including the Michigan guy.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Schmitz would be my choice in round 2

 

[Chopper0080]

Ricky Stromberg (late 3rd)

He would be a solid choice.

Pugh?

Bergeron would fit the idea of adding physicality and talent on the OL and figure out where they play. It would be more of a long-term approach though because I don't see him beating out Hernandez and Beachum in 2023.

My top round 2 options right now

John Michael Schmitz - C

Matthew Bergeron - OL
Keion White - DL
Keannu Benton - DT
Joey Porter Jr - Cb (don't love the lack of production)
Brian Branch - DB (DB but don't know where he plays...I think he is a S)

This is basically my list minus Branch and Porter.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Ricky Stromberg (late 3rd)

Brett Kollman on YouTube is pushing Stromberg pretty hard. He said that when he was evaluating DTs from the SEC, it became a list of "players that Stromberg completely dominated".

Pugh?

Justin Pugh, who I’m 99% sure is still under contract and talked about shifting to center to prolong his career last offseason when Hudson was out of pocket.

Oops - I’m wrong. Ignore me. He’s a FA who hasn’t officially retired, so he could theoretically come back. But I doubt it with a new regime and a possible position change.

Oops - I’m wrong. Ignore me.

He does want to resign here though. He tweeted just last night about hoping to resign.

I wouldn’t mind him back on the cheap. But he seems to have some other ventures going on in life and seems smart enough to bank his money, so not sure that he’d take the Monti special (1 year near vet minimum).

 

[kerouac9]

Draft Levis. Play him if Kyler isn’t ready. Trade him for a boatload next year.

Even if Levis plays well, you'd be selling a guy who has three years left on his deal. I dunno how much value is there.

Stromberg has been my #1 center from day 1. He’s an NFL starter from day 1.

 

[Chopper0080]

I really hope we come out of today with Tuli Tuipulotu. I feel he is an underrated player and fits a 4-3 very well.

He's a more limited athlete, so he should last a bit.

My question is Gannon going to run an even or an odd front? If they are running an odd front, I probably go Keion White.

 

[PJ1]

Best value at C, CB or DL with our round two pick. Don’t get hung up on drafting one position vs the other. Our needs are great and we will be bad this year. The draft won’t change that.

 

[Chopper0080]

My round three dream is Sam LaPorta - TE and Tuipulotu - EDGE. The only reason I don't add Stromburg is because I really like JMS at C.
