I hope the Cards fix the most pressing needs with young and at least Avg talent with potential to improve.

Starting with fixing the secondary.

F/A
CB Stephon Gilmore the Bills CB may be a perfect fit to play opposite Peterson playing the #2WR.
I hope he is the Cards #1 target outside of their own players in F/A.

He has pretty good ball skills and has enough speed to play press man. He is a young vet that has already made his rookie mistakes.

Resign Cooper for depth he played well in a handful of games and is a worth a longer look.

This is a deep draft for CB hopefully Adoree Jackson, T.White or another good prospect will fall to the Cards in round 2.

CB
PETERSON
GILMORE
COOPER/BADGER
BETHEL (Pay Cut)
WILLIAMS/2nd Round rookie

That's a pretty good secondary

QB
Draft Watson at 13 i think he will still be there. The Cards will have their QB of the future after passing on DAK for a center.


Resign Sio Moore
START Harlin at FS
Resign Chandler Campbell and Swearinger top play SS and Shipley to play center
Start Evan B at RG.


Draft a WR in the 3rd round Zay Jones

F/A
Terrel Pryor the 2nd F/A Target Behind Gilmore.
He may turn into a quality #2 WR for years to come maybe a slight upgrade over Floyd.

WR
Fitz
Terrel
Nelson/Brown (depends on what effect last season has on the depth chart)
Brown/Nelson
Rookie Zay Jones (if not jones the best height speed combo WR on the board)
J.Brown (Coming of rehab)

That's a well-rounded group with size, speed playmaking, and experience.

Draft the best OG OR C left on the board for more Oline depth in the 4th round.

5TH ROUND Draft the best SS left of the board for depth.

6th AND 7TH ROUND DRAFT LB

This plan wont work for a cost perspective. Terrell Pryor is going to cost some dough and so will Gilmore. That would make resigning Campbell/Jones impossible. I notice quite a few people want us to sign an expensive #2 corner, but that won't work financially.

What would the franchise tag numbers be for CC and CJ? Maybe it would be better to franchise Campbell and sign Jones to a long-term contract with the lower first and maybe second year numbers.
