Cardinals trade pick #23 for Hollywood Brown

[Chris_Sanders]

he was the #1 WR in Baltimore. Are people really impressed that a #1 WR BARELY got 1000 yards? I’m predicting 45 catches for 700 yards and 3 TD’s next season. Then he walks and we are out a young player that we could have developed or had an impact on the cheap.

Lamar Jackson can't hit the side of a barn at 30 yards

Kilff statements are so worthless

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

26 players had over 1,000 yards receiving last season. whoopteedoo

Those players also didn't have Lamar as their QB.

 

[Syracusecards]

Have you watched them play though? They don't throw the ball that much. Lamar is great but they're a running team

I have, quite a bit due to FF and Directv. Hollywood has always struck me as very inconsistent and someone who drops passes more than he should. Kind of like Kirk in that you never really know who is showing up.

 

[Proximo]

Is he? Seems to me you put AJ Green as the #2 and Hollywood as the slot which puts Moore I don’t know where.

AJ green sucks. Period.

he is not playing over Hollywood.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

While he will drop some passes I just wanted to point out that he has 15 drops in his 3 year career on 317 targets. Not the most sure handed guy, but he isn't gonna be dropping passes every game or even every other game for that matter.

True but he's a legit take the top off guy. He can play outside or inside(says Kliff) and he's cheaper than Kirk. And he and Kyler have chemistry.

I love AJ Brown but the cost difference is enormous

 

[reebokalone2001]

Good trade?

I would rather stay put and get Jermain Johnson.

 

[cardpa]

First this trade was done to appease Murray. Second if Murray starts making Brown his favorite target, Hopkins may not be a happy camper if he's not getting balls thrown his way enough and third the offense better score 35+ points a game because right now the defense isn't going to be stopping many teams as it stands now.

we shall see. Outside WR’s don’t typically go 5’9.

I tend to agree, but had no way of knowing he would have been there when making the trade.

 

[Jetstream Green]

Kilff statements are so worthless

And still carries more weight than you are me

One thing is certain, Hollywood is more productive than any of our recent 1st round picks not named Kyler.

 

[reebokalone2001]

Hollywood Brown and KM played together in college

I tend to agree, but had no way of knowing he would have been there when making the trade.

Then the question is, why made the trade that early, Keim? Didn't you want to take a look at who is available at our pick first before making any decision?

 

[gmabel830]

I also think Hop will be moved next off-season.

Why on earth would we move him? Think he will want like $30 mil/yr?

Yeah, there’s no way we could afford AJ Brown, I wanted Allen Robinson. He’s going to be a monster this year.

I just envision Kliff saying “NOW WE CAN HAVE BUBBLE SCREENS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FIELD!!!!”. and that’s the extent of Moore/Brown next year.

Trade might not have been on the table later. Like someone else speculated, they might have traded down targeting Burks, who was gone two picks later.

 

[PACardsFan]

Let’s look at this trade next year through the lens of Dotson because all the other top WRs were gone. Plus we got a 3rd.

Dotson was gone at 16.

 

[HairZach]

don’t lump me in with that, not true

Last year Brown was the #1 threat on a run first team with a QB that just isn't great at the deep ball. Now Brown is #2 and he already has great chemistry with our QB. He didn't have drop problems when Kyler was throwing to him. You think he's gonna put up 750 yards? Washed up AJ Green put up 848 yards last year on the outside. He had no real break away speed and it was painfully clear that he wasn't always on the same page as Kyler. Brown is gonna top that easy. Brown can really take the top off a defense and you know Kyler loves to go for the deep shot.

excellent point. At least wait until our pick is up

 

[Devilmaycare]

Who was his qb? Is he known for consistency as a passer?

Seriously I think no matter what keim did people were going to be pissed off at him

If he resigns we won't be pissed off at him

 

[Red on White]

Can he do anything with short sideways passes that are behind the line of scrimmage though?

 

[SoonerLou]

I also think Hop will be moved next off-season.

Wouldnt shock me.

Yea Ravens blew it by simply not moving up to get Jameson Wiliams 12 or Olave at 11.

Could have still used the Cards to get Linderbaum. They misjudged the board.

You have to think outside the box. Bubble screen to Rondale who when throws across another bubble screen to Hollywood!

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

excellent point. At least wait until our pick is up

And if all the guys Baltimore was targeting were gone at that point? It's a gamble that could have backfired or could have payed off, but if you want the guy than you have to be willing to lose a little value to make sure it happens.
