Draft Thoughts

[WildBB]

"Are coaches willing to let Hightower grow behind better blockers and selecting a new center or TE. Or are they OK with the blockers and would rather build a two head RB system."We didnt run the rock last year either and are O did just fine. Its why I put run game as our 3rd biggest need.

Yup, when, rather than if they pull the trigger is the question. To me it's looking more and more like McCoy is gonna be the pick unless it's Moreno. They'll then take their chances in the 2nd round with their highest rated DE/OLB at that point, IMO.

With the McFadden signing and Lewis on board, two secondary positions were addressed, mtl.

The 3rd round the OL interior gets addressed. 4th round TE. That's how I see it. It's going to be a needs dominated draft. They also need better OL depth and to groom an eventual replacement at LT. That's why I hate needs based drafts. There is always some real good talent that gets passed by. In our case probably a good OT, DL and CB/S. Some depends on how adament they are in adding an additional body at TE.

While that is a possibilty, no doubt. Clayton and Peter King are two of the worse points of reference when it comes to the Cardinals.

Peter King is pretty much a East Coast football beat writer. If it is not on the east coast he spends no time looking into the facts. He proves it time and time again.

Maybe King is getting his info on a deal through the Eagles or Giants end of things.

I'd bring in Tatum Bell and Warrick Dunn. Dunn could could take over for JJ, only he'd actually be able to take regular handoffs as well. Bell was solid and is still fairly young.

Here's the latest mock from a Philly fan site. Makes a good case.

Foster or Dunn seems like good compliments to Hightower. Foster's got more tread, but has been a disappointment in the league, frequently injured and appears to have limited vision, but has speed. Not sure if he'd be willing to be a return man or even be good at it if he did.
