Thrilled. Everything Tayvon Austin is, but at much, much greater value.

Fans are going to love this kid.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Yep

The Cardinals just chose one of the fastest at the Combine: Ryan Swope.

 

[Jay Cardinal]

Way to go Keim. Great value and an absolute hard worker who produced in college. I think he will make the team and play well.

 

[Shane]

Per scouts doesnt run on the field like he does on the track. So makes his 4.3 not as impressive I'm assuming.

 

[Dr. Jones]

ugh...

WEAKNESSES Does not play at his timed speed in terms of consistently running away from defensive backs. Doesn't have the elite athleticism on the field to elude NFL-caliber defenders in space, and his strength is not enough to run through pro linebackers and defensive backs in the second level.

NFL COMPARISON Jordan Shipley

Great pick. Good player. The only concern is concussions and that's really the only reason he slid.

He's still fast. Plus even more important is that he runs solid routes.

 

[D-Dogg]

I like speed. Like that he put up a lot of big games. Never really saw him play though, so no idea what kind of hands he has. 4.34 speed is a threat by itself, though.

Cardinals use 6th-rd pick on Texas A+M WR Ryan Swope, who was off many boards due to concussions but is worth gamble so late in draft.

Darren Urban ‏@Cardschatter 23h
There's your speed receiver. Swope ran a 4.34 at the Scouting combine.

Mike Jurecki ‏@mikejurecki 23h
Cards select WR Ryan Swope 6'0 205 4.34 forty, scouting report blazing speed, has a extensive concussion history, gd balance, small hands.

Small Hands..... Concussions..... NFC West........ Hmmmmmm.

This is a fantastic pick. As an Aggies fan, I think he will have the 2nd best career of all the Aggies drafted this year (after Joeckel). Great hands, tough as nails, good run after the catch, can block....


We are OWNING the draft today!

Can also catch the ball

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Maybe Larry can show him some tips to get open.

 

[Arizona's Finest]

Damn other then the Guard I never heard of we are KILLING this draft.

Yea and plays slower than his speed. Doesn't sound like a great mix.

 

[Monty]

Called it this morning!

There's still a number of really good players at several of the spots that we are still targeting. Ill go with two guys I really like that are still on the board at spots of need.

WR Ryan Swope
OG/OT Alvin Bailey

Love this pick.

The Cards passing on Quessenberry says to me they really are happy with Brown, Massie and Potter after all.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Watching his combine stuff on NFL Network..... I am not sure where this guy will fit.

I will trust our scouts, but he wasn't running like a 4.3 guy.

 

[MadCardDisease]

Mayock said he had him as a 3rd rounder. They are raving about him on NFLN.

 

[Arizona's Finest]

Yea and plays slower than his speed. Doesn't sound like a great mix.

Watch the tapes bud. He runs a 4.3 but is know for YAC which is the irony. Dude is tough as nails. LOL its the 6th round and we got the guy on cover of NCAA next year. This is a GREAT pick as was Taylor, as was Okeafor.

BOOM killing this draft. Can we get Matt Scott with next 6th???

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

LOL watch the guy play man. I love Twitter too but only so much of story you can get....

I like him too and hope he stays healthy but the text I received said,"good player, soup for brains, concussions."

And that's when I asked about him in round 4. Worth the gamble in round 6.

 

[Arizona's Finest]

The Cards passing on Quessenberry says to me they really are happy with Brown, Massie and Potter after all.

Which makes sense. We have 3 legit starting tackles IMO so why keep adding to a strength unless its an ELITE guy which Quissenberry is not.
