Captain of Team Conner
He was a prospect to watch. If he is available in round 2, I sprint to the podium.Rough news on Ojabo.

Green Bay just traded away Adams for the pick right before the Cards. Don’t get your hopes up on Olave.I say we take Olave. Quick. Good hands. Good route runner. Gives us another reliable Cather who can break it open. Like the Bengals have on offense

About The testing i don't care, he is a special player, difference makerHis testing was also meh.
9th percentile 3 cone. 21st percentile vertical. 37th percentile 40 yard.

Yeah, I too am still awaiting my million dollar windfall from that Nigerian prince. But, as far as the draft goes, pick No. 23 is likely not going to net the Cardinals a future superstar (but you never know, right). So, I’d use the pick for either the best offensive lineman still on the board or the best defensive lineman available. Too bad Cardinals have so many needs and too little cap room to attract high profile FAs. The schedule will be tougher this year and I’m not sure the Cardinals will be better than last year. Always hope for a Super Bowl team or one that makes the playoffs, but the prospects look bleak for the coming year. Hope I’m wrong about that, and that Nigerian prince.After reading this whole thread, I leave with the realization that I know nothing! However, my feelings include:
Olive going much earlier in the draft than most project.
Ojabo being that prince I used to get emails from in Nigeria.
Discussing Linderbaum is a waste of energy.
Wondering how much interest there might be in besides Mafe, but also Jordan Davis, Jermaine Johnson, DeMarvin Leal, or Kingsley Enagbare as a R1 pick.
Murphy is best in the slot, and you don't take slot corners in the first round.Anyone have thoughts on Marcus Jones (CB Houston). He's undersized, but hes a pretty darn good slot CB and the best return man in the country. If we are committed to Murphy playing on the outside then I wouldnt mind spending a 3rd on him. He has great ball skills...5 picks and 13 BPU last year.
Oh no..I was thinking 3rd round at best. Murphy is best in the slot...but hes also our #1 CB...so he is going to have to play outside unless we make a big move or Gladney suddenly is a beast.Murphy is best in the slot, and you don't take slot corners in the first round.
Really really really sucks for that kid. I hope his agent had some kind of insurance for him.xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media
Don't we have a 3rd and 2 5ths from the comp picks? Since those are at the end of the 3rd, I'd do it without question.Really really really sucks for that kid. I hope his agent had some kind of insurance for him.
Achilles is really rough to come back from too, he may never be the same. If we had a 4th I would take a flyer on him and redshirt him...but I dont think I would with a 3rd.
Teams are desperate for offensive line help, especially at OT. He seems to be ready to handle the physical part of the transition to the NFL. He has an aggressive personality that NFL people gravitate to. He fits many size profile standards for teams.Can someone explain the Trevor Penning love to me? I'm seeing him mocked as high as #5.
For a FCS player that's never faced a good pass rusher in his life that had an awful senior bowl where he got destroyed in 1 on 1's by literally everyone.
I just don't get it. I'm hoping this is some analyst over reach and the NFL has more sense.

A couple points of note regarding Penning.
1-He is in the convo for 3rd or 4th best OT. I think he is 4th but Charles Cross is more finesse than Penning.
2-Most mock drafts were pre-free agency so they reflect needs and value of rosters at that point in time. A week into FA, clarity comes and players probably are mocked closer to their value. So, he isn't 5th best player in the draft, and now that needs are being filled, he probably goes closer to his actual overall rank which is the teens or twenties.
I think any mock that has his in the top 10 is either old or bad.I see him well behind Cross. I just think these top 10 ratings are nuts. He needs tonnes of work. He's never gone up against and NFL level rusher in college and when he did at the senior bowl he got owned. To the point he started getting pissed and pushing guys when the play was over.
Top 10 is a massive over pay.

Speed
He didn't practice well for the CombineI'm not really bothered about his speed. He ran 4.55 which is ok for me.
Kupp ran 4.62, Hopkins 4.57, Deebo 4.48. 4.55 is fine, especially when you watch his film.
It was all his other testing that underwhelmed. His 3 cone was 9th percentile. His vertical 21st. These are two major tests for wide receivers that he sucked at.
That's not to say he won't be good. Nuk's testing was poor for example. Boldin also obviously. Antonio Brown. Jarvis Landry. There are lots of ways for WR's to win but it is concerning.
More concerning is that he apparently didn't practice and let himself get out of shape. 225lb for only 6'2" is HEAVY.
