Grade The Cards Draft

[Doc Cardinal]

It's gradin time for BASK.

 

[WildBB]

Ask in three years.

 

[D-Dogg]

B+

Didn't address RT and maybe got an OLB but I'm not sold on Martin at that spot. Plug & Play SS and TE, slot WR with speed, DL depth.

 

[Doc Cardinal]

Ask in three years.

Ha...I was gonna put that down for one of my options.

Come one....call on your inner Miss Cleo.

 

[D-Dogg]

public polls!!!!

 

[Jetstream Green]

I have no scouting staff and I sure the hell refuse to rely on a stack of draft guides and media people for my opinion, if you are and think your grades are legit... then why the hell do teams bother with a scouting staff. WildBB is right, we need three years to know for sure. A grade now is just an entertaining assumption so I will entertain... 'B' for a team draft for a team that I think is a 'A-', that will be a 'A' with the way the 'B's compliment lol

B-

Thomas, Powell, & Brown are pretty much unknown as to how they will project. All are flyers basically.

Martin is an athletic tweener with no real focused projection to a 3-4 without changing his body.

DB, TN, & ES are the most logical picks we made.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

I went with B. Gotta say that I am surprised that nobody has selected below a C- considering the comments I have been reading.

 

[az jam]

C-

4th round QB Logan Thomas pick was terrible so was the 6th round WR Walter Powell choice.
Hard to get excited about the Cards draft. I don' see that there are any impact players. Buccannon & Niklas may be the only two eventual starters.

Usually I'm pumped on their picks but not this year.

 

[D-Dogg]

Logan Thomas is my second favorite pick. Swing for the fences - and we have the luxury to develop him which we RARELY have.

 

[juza76]

all the players selected by cardinals were team captains?

 

[PACardsFan]

NFL Network gave them a B+, with the possibility of it being A+ if they succeed in developing Logan Thomas. It was a grinding draft for the Cardinals as the ball certainly didn't bounce their way. I'm convinced that at least twice & maybe 3 times, our guy was chosen just in front of us. All in all, I think it'll play out to be a decent draft for us. I absolutely loved our first 2 picks & was fine with most of the others. Thomas is a wild card. His size, arm, speed & athleticism are off the charts. Arians has proven to be a great judge of talent, so I'll reserve judgment on that pick for a couple of years. My nephew goes to VT & said the dude is an absolute freak of nature.

I am no expert I Iove the first pick after that they kept being cute with their picks, I was stoked last draft this one, not so sure . Mayock liked it so its too hard to give a grade until we see what happens

 

[Gee!]

I am not going to grade this draft.. Every player is a project.. Well find out in 2 3 years how good of a draft this was..

every players are project cause they never played a snap in nfl

 

[TRW]

I went with a solid C. Nothing really special on the surface. But, as others have said, let's wait 3 years from now and see.

 

[Gee!]

Naw. And I'll only give you one example cuz there are so many that weren't project.s Fitz wasn't a project.

 

[GimmedaBall]

Cards get an A based on their trade of low draft pick that brought us a starting-caliber QB. Good news is that he already paid dividends last year and, with a year of Arians scheme behind him, only stands to be better. Let's not forget that Palmer came out of this draft.

We get Cooper on the field, players with a year under Bowles/Arians, plenty of fill-in players that will complete the type of roster Arians wants to field.

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

Knowing how close we are, I thought we would go after more players who could come in immediately and make an impact. Especially with our 2 third rounders, I was expecting much more. On a whole, our draft was simply surprising to me. Not sure what to make of most of our picks and also when we took them. Feel a bit confused by it right now.

 

[b8rtm8nn]

I gave them a B+, a B on their choices and the + for being ballsy enough to stick to their board, because I don't know how you pick a 6th round WR after Ginn in the off-season and Brown in the 3rd. I like the defensive selections a lot, but it's all potential today.

 

[joeshmo]

It is definitely not a flashy draft, so I can see why some would not be to thrilled about it. But I have been fooled by flashy drafts in the past, how many A drafts have we had only to be fooled. Also have laughed at some teams drafts for zero flash only to be fooled again when 1 or two years later later they churned out quality starts out of it.

I can see the thought process behind every pick and will leave it at that for now.

 

[Snakester]

C- Ok players but there were better players in every round. Very surprising draft. Could not believe they gave up a franchise QB for a SS. Needed a pass rushing OLB and didn't get one. Not taking O-line was a surprise. This was just an okay draft. The Cards drafted for need for sure instead of taking the best players that were available each round.

 

[AzStevenCal]

I'm on the A+ line. Not that I completely believe it but I didn't believe we could go 10 - 6 last year either so I've bought in all the way until they sell me out.

I voted D for one reason:

The Brown pick was a reeeeeaaaaaccchhh based on where he was picked. No way do you use a third round pick on him. Then the other WR in the 6th was a joke of a pick and completely unneccesary in my opinion. That kid has UDFA written all over him when you had Storm Johnson still sitting there and Shayne Skov still sitting there when I felt like both were positions of need. I also felt Thomas in the 4th was a reach. I know Skov went undrafted, but I hate that 6th round pick. Absolutely hate it. Go O-Line or LB, but not that kid. Very disappointed.

Like otheres have said though, time will tell.

Very well put
