Beanie a "huge whiff and a miss"? Yeah ok. The only whif an miss in our running game is Russ Grimm.

 

[Hypothesis]

I'm not completely sold on any of the QB's that are projected to go in the first round. Nor am I sold on Von Miller for this defense. I'd much rather grab Robert Quinn.

However, the talk about Mikel Leshoure in the second...if he falls...I'd be all over him. I don't think necessarily that we NEED a RB that early, and there will be plenty of other talent available, but Leshoure is a stud who at his size of 6'0 230lbs has the shiftiness and burst to elude people and create on his own. Has the speed to break long runs, the acceleration to hit the holes and get to top speed in a blink. He can block and he is dangerous catching passes out of the backfield. He also rarely gets tripped by the ankles as he has great balance. I wouldn't be upset with this pick at all.

Neither would I. I love Robert Quinn (pending combine results of course) and would love pick Leshoure. I'm a fan of THT but I don't believe he has the potential to be an elite back, and Leshoure could be very good. Beanie IMO goes down way too easily for such a big, strong fast guy.

Arizona desperately needs to take Quinn at the #5 spot, as he is the absolute best fit for the greatest need on this team. They can get a QB at #38 with Colin Kaepernick, who has, (I believe), more upside than any other QB in this draft, and who, if he is there at that spot, would be the best player on the board in my opinion.

If CB Peterson is there we get him. They are to hard to find and makes toler better in the 3 and 4 reciever sets, every down.

Mike adams is a scrub, He doesn't belong on an NFL team, He's one of those Whiz sentimentals that would not get a spot on any other team. For every exciting play He gets, He gets 10 misses. Horton better cut him loose.

I wouldnt put money mike as a scrub, I think he is a solid nickel guy
