If not,here's a tidbit that i hadn't heard before.He said Fitz,Dockett,Step, AND Dansby are all starters.I haven't heard that about Dansby before.Maybe he actually meant that he will become a starter but that's not what he said in the interview.He clearly said all 4 picks were starting.Also,a nice thing about Green being the coach is that the Cards will actually get a little more air time on ESPN and hopefully it will be in a positive way.

What a great draft this appears to be for us. I'll forgive the Antonio Smith pick due to the strength of the rest of the class!

I saw that. I had ESPN News on this morning before I went to work and when I came home and turned on the TV it was the very beginning of his interview.

I was thrilled to see actual Cardinals coverage, especially on ESPN, since my opinion of their football coverage has been slipping.

Anyhow, yes, he did specifically mention them as starters. It was in response to a question about him drafting Fitzgerald. Specifically it was "Can drafting a wide receiver cause excitement in a team". He responded by pointing out Randy Moss, pointed out that drafting a QB isn't the safe move (citing Couch and Harrington struggling) and said that the top four picks were starting, so even though he took a WR first, he did get four starters in the first four picks.

He also reiterated what Walter said in his article today that Green did not expect to be coaching and that he took the Cardinals job because it was out west.
