In terms of 1st round options at DL, I am settling on Mason Graham, Walter Nolen, and Kenneth Grant as my only preferred options. Nolen needs to bulk a bit and Grant needs to answer pass rush questions, but I think they all three have really high ceilings. There are some other players I like later, but not in round 1.

I kinda like Saiivion Jones from LSU in the 4th or so.
4-3 DE that can play inside...decent run stuffer.. lots of physical traits, but raw as a fresh caught fish...but he has a strong bull rush which would compliment Robinson and whatever OLB we draft

Graham long gone, others are solid.

its real progress to go from bottom feeder to competitive.

but the NFL's gravitational pull is towards 8-9 or 9-8

far more progress is necessary to go from 8 to 12 wins than needed to go from 4 to 8.

The FO has its work cut out for it
I agree. Significantly harder to go from 8 to 12, but difficulty of schedule comes into play also. Two years ago the Texans went from 4-12 wins mainly because they played one of the easiest schedules ever. They played a tougher schedule in 2024, and they didn’t look nearly as good. And some people pointed the finger of blame towards Stroud. Bottom line, strength of schedule does matter. The problem is that it’s way too soon to say that our schedule will be easier this year.

Did you get banned for labeling posters whiners? I didn't think so. I'd rather just be silly right back to highlight the childish attack rather than report it. We get it, anyone not a Monti sycophant is "whining."
HUGE difference between whiners & moron. Mainly because whiners does apply to you and moron certainly doesn’t apply to me.

Can we get back to the issue of how to approach this offseason. The Cards have money and picks enough to significantly move them forward. We’re seeing strong indications the Cards are changing their offseason philosophy moving forward. I also see some critical players as likely to exhibit major growth.

Can you expand on this?

I would like to see your input

How should we approach this offseason? It's not even a question. Not how Monti has approached it previuosly. And we are not getting any indications they are changing. Monti and Bidwill have simply parroted what they said last offseason, when they were proven liars. Why should we believe them this time around? Fool me once (although they didn't), shame on me. Fool me twice...

How about we get Milton Willams and big daddy Kenneth grant? Then have Darius and bj as the ends? What would be a cool nickname for them? Would be fun to watch

I want Grant at #16 after the Cards take Sweat in free agency. Sign Browning
Also sign Tevon Jenkins OG: pass Pro 75.8, run blocking 74.3
At 47 take Aireontay Ersery OT, 6' 6" 325 MN
At 77 Danny Stutsman, ILB, 6' 4" 245, run stuffer.
