we could use that extra 3rd to trade up in the 2nd round and in that way get two of the following 3 LB's with our 1st 2 picks: Kindle, Weatherspoon and Hughes. If that were to happen,we could say Carlos who?

No way on Earth we take 2 OLBs, but don't stop dreaming on account of me.

Got to agree with CFMD on that one----maybe two ILB's and an OLB, or one each, but not two OLB's at this stage of the game, (unless one of them can play either position).

Yup. If we ended up with Weatherspoon and Washington or Butler, I'd be doing backflips. If we ended up with Weatherspoon/Washington/Butler, Spikes, and T. Cody/Joseph/Troup, I think that we can go into Saturday feeling pretty good.

Yep. ILBers is the position we need to "overdraft" on. Lee in the 2nd and Ebbs in the 3rd.

doesn't Weatherspoon play both? But he is projected ILB by most.
We wouldn't take two WILBs either. Why use a second or third round pick on someone who will be nothing more than a backup/STer if your first rounder pans out?? Weatherspoon, Lee, Edds, Washington and Butler all play the same position. We need a WILB and a SILB. Frankly I'll be very surprised if we take a OLB in the draft.

The cardinals now take the best available player regardless of position. Its why we have improved so much.

While I certainly don't feel we should ban people who post corny Cardinal puns (i.e. "shuffle the Cards", "Cards Deck Rams" etc. etc.) I am suggesting that the mods establish a Bad Pun Hall of Fame thread (where all lame Card puns go to die).

FWIW though I think you should change your font color Jeff. Your posts look like they are probably very interesting, but I can never read them because that red makes my eyeballs want to walk the street while Joe Biden's motorcade is in the vicinity.

Don't quote my post; I have us taking WILB, SILB, and NT.

What world are you living in? The Cards needed a tackle, so they drafted Levi Brown. In the next round they needed a NT to facilitate the change to a 3-4. They moved up and drafted Alan Branch. A year later, the Cards needed a cornerback, because there was no one there. Lo and behold, they drafted Dominique Rogers-Cromartie. A round later, they drafted a defensive end knowing that Antonio Smith was going to price himself off the team, and there was no one behind him. A year after that, we don't have a starting running back, and we draft Beanie Wells. If Beanie's not there, is there any idea that we won't be drafting Donald Brown? And in the second round, we take an OLB, right when we see that our OLB corps is all getting ready to apply for Medicare.

The Cards may take the PBA regardless of position after the first two rounds (although it certainly looks now like Early Doucet was a need pick), but to say that need doesn't color their evaluations of talent through the process is to deny the reality of how the Cards have drafted.

True, but you could argue that both DRC and Beanie were BPA at an area of need.

You can make that argument with Beanie and DRC, although it becomes much harder to make when you look at Cody Brown, Alan Branch, and Calais Campbell. Isn't it a little suspicious that the Cards BPA board happened to line up so easily with where their most pressing needs are?

The Cards have benefited from some deep drafts and some great scouting the past three seasons, but I don't think that we can say that they're drafting straight BPA when it's obvious that they're filling needs at the same time.

I don't think so. You could argue Cody Brown, but not Alan Branch and Calais Campbell. They traded up because they thought he was worth a 1st round pick. The Cards thought they had the BPA in Branch. Campbell was also considered a 1st round pick to many as well.

I'm not arguing that they always draft BPA. Hell, the infamous passing of Adrian Peterson for Levi Brown is evident of that.

LOVE the 1st 4 picks. Don't want us drafting a QB this year. After rd 4 I rarely know the players left.

Don't burn any picks on trading up in this deep draft.
