You couldn't have scripted a better draft. Filled a need with a starter with every pick. Love you Denny!

Don't forget Eric Green...he was pretty highly rated CB in this draft..some even said a 2nd rounder...

How do we keep ending up with guys who should've been 1st or 2nd rounders throughout the entire day 1 the last 2 years?

19 CB's taken in the first 96 picks, that has to be a record...I am thrilled that we took care of that position with our first 3 picks....

Good question. Does Green have a subscription to ESPN Insider and looks to see who's fallen? :D

Seriously, nice picks.

and one prognosticator have our cb's being the 1st and 4th rated in the draft, with the rest not for behind. :)

Elton Brown, Kemo and Sproles will still be around tomorrow !!

To bad clarett isn't there any more (not that we needed him), but it would have been nice...but risky.

However, I wouldn't mind ANY of those guys you listed, and feel at this time, we need a little more fire on our ol in Kemo.

If we bust for the rest of the draft I still think we scored big time, the rest is gravy. So lets knock it out of the park cards, still some good value left. :D

What a great draft so far, plus we are in position to get Willis, Sproles, Kemo, or my boy Hawthorne tommorrow. I'm so psyched right now.

Once again -- value across the board in the draft. All of them played in major conferences and were productive.

If the defensive guys the Cardinals took today come in as advertised, the Cardinals have the makings of one of the fastest, most athletic defenses in the league.

Rolle as the starter, Green to come in on nickel

Blackstock added to the mix at LB (his coach at Virginia - Al Groh -- compared Blackstock to Lawrence Taylor)

Arrington fits in nicely with the Shipp/Hambrick mix.

All in all, pretty solid

A+++++ doesn't even say it.

I'm so freaking happy right now. This is the best draft ever. Jeezus..we've got some GREAT players in this draft, and and GREAT spots.

Man...screw ANYONE who trumpets those "same ol' Cardinals" refrains.

PLAYOFFS....HERE WE FREAKING COME!!!!!!!!!!

We got 2 Starting CB,a starter in JJ and OLB that can bring the heat. Wow this defense is slowly becoming monsters in the desert.

Another awesome first day put together by Green. No projects, major reaches, and we avoided the no talent workout freaks. Again, thank God for Denny Green.

And I want to mention that our defense next year is going to be absolutely sick at pressuring the QB. Rolle and Blackstock can really get after it and they're being added to Berry, Okeafor, Wilson, Dockett, and Dansby. Clancy has an opportunity to get very creative with this D.

Green had a knee injury so teams were unsure if he was healthy. He has 2nd round talent, but he has the knee issue. I have no idea why Blackstock fell he was pretty highly regarded.

That must be why he fell to us. :D When did he get the injury?

The Afternoon Blitz on NFL Radio both said our new outside linebacker would prove to be one of the best players in this draft a few days ago, for what its worth.. I was THRILLED when we drafted him because of that.

Great draft. I was so relieved we didn't trade that first pick. Mike Mayock says we are a legitamate contender for the NFC West now( I know, not saying alot).
