Good choice. Not my preference, but certainly talented. Great return guy. Immediate impact player.
Harry, who was your preference?

And who/what position do you think we will go at 97th?

At WR I had Washington & Miller ahead of him
At OL. Williams & Crosby
At CB. D Jackson & Oliver.

Miller & Williams are gone now

We're going to love this kid. I hope we are having the conversation around 2030 of when to draft his replacement.

Our long punt returner nightmare is over


He's a brilliant punt returner. And, if you watch the video I posted in my thread about Kirk, he's as dangerous on YAC and kickoff returns. Plus, what the video doesn't show, is all the huge catches he made with the game on the line that were NOT TDs.
the bigger the stage, the better he is.

Pick No. 47: The Cardinals select Christian Kirk, Texas A&M WR.
Grade: Good. Kirk is a talent, and he already acts like a pro:

Kirk’s work ethic came in handy upon arriving in College Station. He played a lot of running back in high school, and needed to work on becoming a true receiver. It’s something that then-Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin raved about in a phone call with SB Nation.

“As a really young player, he put in the extra time and the extra work with his body to not only get stronger, but everything with nutrition, flexibility, you name it,” Sumlin said. “What usually takes a lot of college players time, he embraced his physical maintenance early in his career, and approached it really like a pro does.”

Kirk is an explosive playmaker who’s a threat to score every time he touches the ball. He has the ability to operate from all over the field and creates separation with ease. A player with Kirk’s skillset is always in high demand.

Whether he’s stretching the field on a post route or taking a handoff, Kirk is the type of offensive talent that should see some manufactured touches. He can change the game in a matter of seconds and should see plenty of opportunities to do so in the NFL.

We love his fit in Arizona.

Nice pick and a very good return man. I wanted James Washington but Kirk will do. Solid draft so far.

When it showed him right after he was drafted I wonder if he was thinking "I get to play on the same team as Larry".
