Cards Pick #116: OG - Earl Watford

[CtCardinals78]

I'm excited about this kid. Other famous JMU NFL Alum:

Charles Haley and Gary Clark.

Gary Clark didn't turn out too bad for the Cards. He should make an impact this year, it looks like the Cards Oline issues may finally be getting better.

This guy: Earl Watford highlight reel

He was a beast coming out of Simon Gratz HIgh School, in Philly, back in 2008!

 

[CtCardinals78]

Who?

The news starting RG for the Cards. (Hopefully)

 

[82CardsGrad]

Physically the guy is freakish! Ran a 4.97 40 and had the best broad jump for o-lineman at the combine!

Saw a little of Watford on tape when a buddy of mine who saw him play told me about him. Very good technician that has a mean streak and is a bull in the run game. I think he may be more suited to a zone blocking scheme but he is a very good player to have for depth.

I like this pick.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Nice more young talent for the Oline. 2 rookies at G?

Trade or cut one of our vets and keep one for depth?

@mikejurecki: Earl Watford started all 11 games @ guard in 2010, in 2011 started all 13 games at left guard, started all 11 games in 2012 was team caption

I really dig this pick. I thought he would be a 5th rounder, but looks like we got him the round before. Big, quick athlete with long arms. Dominated his conference and showed well in offseason all start games.

I suspect that our center next year will be a guard today on the roster.

You truly have a deep rooted hate for Sendlein. Not saying he can't be upgraded but 80% or more of your posts reference him.

I saw a better center in Snyder personally.

I thought I saw Watford listed as a later round pick on some of the Mock Drafts here.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Hey admins..... Change the title and sticky this thread please.

Poor guy isn't getting any love! lol

You did and IIRC it was in one of Chopper's threads or he was the one who talked about him.

Not my official one which sucks. I have liked Watford since I watched him during the East/West game. I saw his size at the weigh ins, long arms, heard good practice reports and then saw him look ok in the game. He was originally a 6th or 7th round guy, but after that week some had him moving up and some didn't.

Arians actually looked me off putting him in my official mock draft for the Cards. All of the Potter and Massie to OG talk made me think they would draft Quessenberry over Watford because Quessenberry was a taller, leaner OG while Watford is squattier.

This dude really stood out at the E W Shrine game. Solid pick.

Now I think it's safe to say Snyder is a goner.

Why Snyder over Colledge? Snyder's ability to play Center might keep him around a bit.

What are the cap hits for dropping Adam or Darryn?

Colledge is a better player than Snyder IMO. Cutting Snyder doesn't change the cap any this year. Cutting Colledge saves 450K

Can Snyder beat out Sendlein? I like what I saw from the last game he played there.

That puts Colledge on the outside looking in.

Colledge is definitely the better player. One of those guys will likely be stating IMO Watford starting is probably unlikely this year.

 

[ARZCardinals]

Cards messed up trading back and missed out on Barret Jones - rams took him. 2 picks earlier

Jones would have been a much better pick

If they wanted him they wouldn't have traded back.

What does cutting Snyder and Colledge do to our cap? Just asking, not advocating.

If we cut them both we would save $450K this year.
