Deone Bucannon poll
Agree - he could end up being very solid (I think he will) but seems like we could have got him a bit later if we could have traded down a 2nd time.
Belichick was going to take him a couple picks later according to Jason La Canfora. If they didn't take him there, they wouldn't have gotten him. All four of the starter quality safeties were gone by the Niners pick at #30. In a very thin safety class, the Cardinals did well to get their guy and still get the extra 3rd.
Once Calvin Pryor, Ryan Shazier and Anthony Barr were off the board, they got the guy who helps the most in 2014 on both defense and special teams IMO.

The guy is a good player but I don't like taking a SS in the first round. To me that's just a little better than taking a punter in the first round. I put I hated the pick. Not so much because of DB but because we passed on Johnny Manziel. You just don't pass on a franchise QB for a SS.

Agreed. I just pointed out in another thread that there has been 1 first round SS drafted in the last 20 years.

Pete Prisco gives Cards a B for the pick.
What grade u give to prisco?
I'm just happy they didn't go tit left!He is athletic enough that he should be able to develop into a better single high option. I understand your reservations but I think the Cardinals go tit right here.
