If the Cards have a top 5 pick...

[Matt L]

Well... we did take a break from this during the Warner years.... man that seems almost as if it never really did exist, doesn't it? Kurt Warner??? Did he ever really play here?? Was that just a dream... a fantasy??

There were two seasons with Kurt as the starter where we began to look to the draft by week 5 or 6.

if the Cards had a top 5 pick and Luck and Kalil are gone, I would trade back with a QB hungry team like Washington and get a #1 next year and replace the #2 this year. Say we move back to 11, Martin/Rieff are still there and the Cards could get a 3/4 OLB prospect in round 2. I really like the Ingram kid from South Carolina.

I was going to post something similar, it would be a good year to trade down for us especially if Luck and Kali are gone. However do you really have confidence that Graves knows how to pull this off successfully????

no, but I don't have confidence in Graves sitting there making a top 5 pick either. At least this way he has more chances to "hit" on a pick. My top 3, in this trade would be Martin, RayRay Armstrong, SS from Miami, and Ingram.
I think Horton's defense needs a true playmaker at SS and Wilson just isn't that player anymore, Armstrong is.

That is a likely scenario too because this figures to be a QB draft with 1-2 really highly touted other players. If there's not a must have OL or pass rusher you can make a very strong argument to trade down with a team that wants a QB or Blackmon or someone like that and get more picks.

Don't they have some kind of "auto" pick for folks that don't show up to their fantasy drafts? I've never played in one but I recall hearing something about it on the TV show "The League."

Can the Cards just go on auto draft?

Just hire Kiper and those guys to run our draft.

It's a win/win scenario, if they draft well great we're loaded. If they suck at it great again because they will never again be on ESPN touted as draft experts because they will have proven they don't really know anything.

lmao

Awesome

I just started watching that show, my homie kept calling me Taco. He finally told me why and then I caught the first season on Netflix, funny stuff. Homeboy traded away Adrian Peterson to get his client 5 years off on his prison term...that's friggin funny!

I would take Kalil over Blackmon because I think he is an excellent true left tackle prospect. However I am surprised that more people don't think WR speed is a problem.

I think at least some of Kolb's problems stem from the fact that none of the receivers can get open. Without a single "burner" on the roster, it just changes the way you gameplan against the Cards. Not saying he would turn our offense around, but having Justin Blackmon would certainly change the way opposing defenses prepare for us.

This is denial to me. Guys are open, pretty consistently, Kold either doesnt see them or proves to be completely incapable of getting the ball to them. What we have seen more of is Kolb whiffing on wide open guys down-field. The rare completion we do get of more than 15 yards is Fitz wrestling the ball away from 2 guys after Kolb lobbed him a floater.

The passing games troubles stem 80% from our horrible Qb play, 15% from the line and at most 5% to the WRs.

That may be but what I see is that we have no hot receiver. I watched plays closely over the last couple of days and not one WR is looking for the football right away. Somebody has to be the hot route. Even Warner with his quick reads and quick release couldn't throw to these guys because he'd hit them in the back of the head.

That might be happening occasionaly, but for the most part Kolb isnt finding the hot route at all (or open guys down field). Whiz spoke about it just the other day, and its the reason Kolb took the safety, he isnt finding the hot route. If Kolb is actually worried about hitting them in the head (and i doubt thats actually an issue) then GREAT! I bet they wont make the same mistake again, but as it stands Kolb hasnt shown he can even see those guys, much less get them the ball.

That is the exact reason I was watching the WRs in the replays. Nobody is even looking for the football. There just doesn't seem to be any hot route.

But then that's what you get when most of your WRs are inexperienced.

Too many old guys. Too many young guys.

I'll take an equal 45% QB, 45% line, 10% WR/TE/RB core.
