So far, Graves looks pretty smart. Pace and Boldin are very good so far. Kenny King could be the biggest surprise yet. Johnson will come along. We took alot of heat for getting Pace in round one. So far he has played like a first rounder. If these guys can bring it in the regular season, then Graves deserves a ton of credit.

We may look back on this draft as the best ever by the Cards.

Pace looks like the answer to the RDE position.

Johnson will need some time but I can't imagine he won't be at least very good.

Boldin is a gem of a pick in the 2nd rd.

Good reports so far on Hayes and King does look like a great pick as well.

I'm very excited about Wells. He started last night so the question is how did he do? It seems like the O moved pretty well without our starting LT. If this kid can make the jump from small time college to the NFL then this draft has to be graded as an A.

Gilbert should slip through to the PS.

That folks is a great draft, fingers crossed of course.

I think Johnson's doing very well. He's smart, hard-working, and doing everything they ask.

Boldin's experience as a quarterback, coupled with his own intelligence and work ethic, is making him stand out.

I think by the end of the season no one will make snide comments on the Cardinal's draft.

Wells gave up the sack, that Blake almost fumbled on...

He needs time. Rookie LTs usually aren't any good.

One thing to remember on Bryant Johnson -- in his first season as starter at Penn State, he struggled with dropping balls.

For his junior season, the problem dissapeared.

Johnson could be one of those guys who take a little time to get adjusted to a new level of competition -- it could be that his rookie season is a little up and down, and then breaks out his second year.
