If you could draft any player in the past 20 for the Cards who would you pick?

[BritCard]

Just one player since 2000 and why him?

I'd go with Adrian Peterson. For me the best pure running back of the modern era. Just had everything in his locker. Power, agility, speed, vision, patience. I'd watch Prime AD and lament all the sucky running backs we had.

I often thought we win the Superbowl if we drafted him.

Tom Brady (2000 draft) "GOAT" and considered the biggest "steal" in the history of the NFL Draft.

 

[GatorAZ]

Rodgers or Wilson.

I think Brady is great. I just don’t think the Cardinals would have coached and developed him like Bilichick did

Whoa, we would have lost our on Bad, Bad Levi Brown. (and he was bad)

I like the Rodgers choice but then we would have missed out on Leinart the next year.

All answers are right... QB is more important but AP was insane

Peyton no doubt in my mind. Because I think he would have flourished in any system, and after his first few years wouldn't have mattered who the OC was because he would have made whoever it turned out to be a rich man.

Ironic for me to say all that because I liked Ryan Leaf better and I thought Indy made a big mistake. My biggest draft blunder of my life...

If we are talking who we would have drafted that was available? Then definitely AP or Urlacher.

If we are talking any one !? Peyton for sure!

Yep, Peyton Manning! Except he was drafted in 1998. Close enough for me. And if we didn’t rally in the 4th quarter of our 1997 season finale against the Falcons, we would have had the overall 1st pick.

How did I miss the 2000 part???

Still the right answer!

Duh Kyler Murray.

 

[Red Bird]

People like to point out missing on Adrian Peterson, and that does suck, but I’m still pissed we couldn’t get Joe Thomas from that draft. That could’ve been the difference in that SB as Gandy picked up numerous drive killing holding penalties trying to block Harrison. I also think it could’ve extended Warner’s career by another year and given us a better shot at Peyton in 2012. Eff the Browns for wasting his career

Maurice Clarett .

 

[TaylorSwift]

Mahomes, Rodgers or wilson

 

[Lomax to Green 84]

Russell Wilson

Duh Kyler Murray.

I can't argue with your answer. I kind of looked at it as someone that we didn't draft.

This is what I point to when people say "Winning is more important than a draft pick." That rally and win really helped the team chemistry!! I mean we went 6-10 the next season....so obviously it mattered.

OF COURSE IT DIDNT. We missed out on Peyton Manning so we could get one extra win, and what...feel better for an hour or two that afternoon?

Once you are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, its ok to start thinking about your draft position. You don't "tank"...but you let your young/depth guys get a chance to play. If you get down to week 17 and a loss guarantees you the #1 overall pick...YOU LOSE THE GAME!!

Anyway, sorry for the rant. Peyton Manning would be my choice as well.

That's always been my position. Thank God we didn't blow the opportunity to draft K1.
