Build your best draft class for the Cardinals

[Chopper0080]

Interesting to see the amount of folks with Phillip Thomas in the 3rd. Same goes for Zack Ertz in round 2.

 

[bankybruce]

Here's mine:

7(1) - Chance Warmack OG, Alabama

38(2) - Barrett Jones OC, Alabama

69(3) - Phillip Thomas FS, Fresno State

103(4) - Christine Michael RB, Texas A&M

140(5) - Matt Scott QB, Arizona

174(6) - Ricky Wagner OT, Wisconsin

176(6) - Michael Williams TE, Alabama

This is by far my favorite. Fills so many needs.

7(1) - Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma. I've had my eye on this player for the Cards for a couple weeks now. It makes sense because Johnson is a versatile player who can start at 4 positions on the line, or be an immediate backup 4 positions. Can be a very solid interior lineman in a zone-blocking scheme, and can be a blocking TE in heavy packages.

38(2) - Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford. You know he's smart, but he's also going to be an immediate starter in a base 2WR set. Is a much better blocker than Housler and a much better receiver than Jeff King.

69(3) - Phillip Thomas, FS, Fresno State. Why not just continue to draft 3rd round safeties? I'd have loved to draft Larry Warford here, but I don't think he's a scheme fit.

103(4) - Landry Jones, QB, Oklahoma. At this point, he has huge, huge upside. I don't care if all of my Sooner fan in-laws hate him. Let's keep rolling the dice. He'll be starting by Halloween.

140(5) - Cornelius Washington, DE/OLB, Georgia. It's like drafting Calvin Pace! Washington was a 3-4 DE for the Bulldogs, but will be a developmental rush linebacker for the Cards.

174(6) - Josh Johnson, CB, Purdue. The only thing less expensive than a third-day cornerback in free agency is a late-round cornerback whom you've developed for a couple years.

176(6) - Garrett Gilkey, OG, Chadron State. Maybe we can finally develop a late-round offensive lineman.

I really like Lane Johnson. Dude is an athelete, has huge upside and I love his versatility. I wouldn't mind that pick at all.

Ertz and Washington are nice picks as well.

Landry Jones name makes me think of the Cowboys and I just can't get past that.

Of the big 3 OTs, Lane Johnson is the one that excites me the most because of what I have seen on the field and his potential. His name interests me a lot similar to Terron Armstead.

They have the option of bringing him along slowly year 1 as well.

He has the athletism of Fisher, not quite the footwork yet. But he's viable there @ 7.

For me with the rankings:

7- G. Smith - QB
38- Z. Ertz - TE
69- P. Thomas - F/SS
103- D. Quessenbury - OG/OT
140- C. Harper- WR
174- T. Riddick - RB
176- S. Commings - CB

I like this! Obviously I'd take Eric Fisher if by some miracle he falls to us. But I love Lane Johnson's versatility, athleticism and upside. I'm not sure if he's a day one starter at left tackle, but he's close. It's interesting that Johnson played right tackle for one season and left tackle for another in two seasons at O.U.

If the right quarterback prospect is there in round two, I'd take him over Landry Jones.

103- D. Quessenbury - OG/OT
140- C. Harper- WR
174- T. Riddick - RB
176- S. Commings - CB

I also like Harper, but with our wide receiver situation I wouldn't take him higher than the 5th round as well. Personally, I think he goes in the 4th, but CBS disagrees so I will take it.

My gut tells me the first rounder is going to be Lane Johnson or Warmack.

I just dont know which one. Every bone in my body says Mike Glennon

will be the pick at 38.

 

[az jam]

1. OG Chance Warmack Alabama
2. OLB Alec Ogletree Georgia
3. SS Shamarko Thomas Syracuse
4. QB Tyler Bray Tennessee
5. RB Kenjon Barner Oregon
6a.TE Michael Williams Alabama
6b. Center PJ Lonergan LSU

 

[Quagmire]

Don't know what "our system" is, but picked based on Need, not BPA. Last year was offensive line draft, this year defense.

7. Jarvis Jones OLB UGA (pass rusher - check)
38. Jonathon Cyprien SS FIU (AW replacement)
69. Gavin Escobar TE SDSU (BA overrules the draft board on this one)
103. Akeem Spence DT ILL (future Dockett replacement)
140. Kevin Reddick ILB UGA (cause I miss the days of complaining about Buster Davis)
174. Steve Williams CB CAL (fast slot corner with potential)
176. Erik Herman OG OHIO (roll the dice on small-school standout)

Going off of free agency I would guess this will be and offensive heavy draft.

My "the offensive line isn't that bad" draft...

7 - Geno Smith - QB (West Virginia)
38 - Zack Ertz - TE (Stanford)
69 - Jonathan Franklin - RB (UCLA)
103 - Chris Faulk - OT (LSU)
140 - Ty Powell - OLB (Harding)
174 - Duke Williams - S (Nevada)
176 - Earl Watford - OG (James Madison)


I don't believe it, but our head coach might.

I'd like to see him or Dennard Robinson in the 5th.

Franklin is gonna be good. I just think we're gonna draft a Saftey there. Ertz improves the OL as well.

The fact that we should be running a lot of 2 TE sets under BA should help the OL quite a bit.

Hmm.. I've spent a lot of time looking at scouting videos, and I've seen some of these guys in person. If we do EXACTLY this in the draft, I think we'll be golden.

7(1) - Futute HOF OL (Some might say a reach, I think he could be good)
38(2) - Futute HOF OL
69(3) - Futute HOF Safety(This dudes a beast, steal of the draft, IMO)
103(4) - Futute HOF OL
140(5) - Future Steven Jackson type RB (good size, good speed, could fight for reps)
174(6) - Future HOF QB (looked okay at his small college.. solid backup)
176(6) - Future HOF OLB (just threw him in here on the chance he's good)

 

[Duckjake]

Barkevious Mingo
Manti Te'o
Bacari Rambo
Odai Aboushi
Manase Foketi
Brad Sorenson
Levine Toilolo

If we're going to have Brian Billick call all our games we should at least give him some ammunition.

I like this draft a lot...except for grabbing 2 RBs. Have to find a way to get a TE in there somewhere instead.
