Meaning I hope the Cardinals look at this draft and realize that some of the best players are OL and we just happen to need help in that area. I want us to be really safe and boring as all hell and select Warmack or Cooper at guard unless one of the top tackles are there. I get why some like Austin at WR and why some like Geno Smith but look at this OL talent...we have Palmer and the QB class next year seems a lot brighter and I do think Floyd is first round talent and Palmer will show that if he has time to throw. Pass rusher? I would not be upset but these OL guys are about as sure of a gamble as one can have in the draft. Do the right thing Cards, go OL :)

drafting a player we desperately need is exciting to me. I wouldn't call that boring at all

For once, I don't really have huge opinions about the draft. I don't have a specific player I want us to take in the first, I don't know where we should go with our other picks, I don't really know the draft class, and I couldn't come close to filling out a 1st round mock. Grad school is just sucking up all my time.

The only thing I can say for sure is that I don't want us taking a QB in round 1, or trading back into the 1st to take one.

I'm all for the O-line Roy Green , I can remember as for back as 62 (the year I became addicted to football) that a QB's best friend is a strong rushing attack . When we consider the numbers Palmer posted with the Raiders receivers and the 28'th ranked rushing attack , those numbers loom even larger . We strenghen the O-line , get the run game going , my confidence is high that Palmer --Fitz --Floyd -- Roberts will give us plenty to cheer about .

I think it would be tough to screw up our #1 pick this year. I suppose we could take Ansah outta the blue but I'm expecting a OL.

I would be fine with a pass rusher, because the elite ones seem to only be available when you have a top ten pick but this OL crop is golden. It is all about time. Giving our QB time to pass and limiting their QB time. But I still think it is time for some OL stud in Cardinal red!

Honestly, I dont think theres a more exciting pick than Eric Fisher or Chance Warmack.



If Dion Jordan fell to us, or if we took Jarvis Jones, Id be happy.


Bur if we take Fisher or Warmack, ill lose my friggin mind in joy. Its been so so long since weve had an Oline in AZ.

We have been so deprived of a good OL that yes, for us, picking a guard would be a very sexy pick :)

What could be more sexy than Chance Warmack? Have you seen his stomach? :D
