Lecitus Smith is trash. Daley is just replacement-level. I believe Daley starts because I expect that Hayes ceiling is Daley, but his likely outcome is Smith (whom the cards rated higher obviously).
Slightly disingenuous argument. Smith was probably valued higher because of positional versatility. Remember how Bobbie Massie went later in the draft because teams thought the only position be could play was RT?
Yeah it's a definite reach.
Must be some strong ass martinis
I'm not completely convinced.
Kyler has stated in public, that his goal is to be ready Week 1. He has no reason to say that if he doesn't think he can be somewhere close to that. Sure the Cards will likely put him on the PUP list, but he can come back after 4 weeks. I would be SHOCKED if Kyler misses a majority of the season, unless there is an injury setback.
If Kyler shows advancement and both picks are top 5, I'm trading the later of my picks to the highest bidder again.
That is a variable I didn't think much about, it does make some sense.
This ain’t gonna be rebuilt overnight. Particularly with them largely punting on this offseason. Get the offense lined up next offseason. Hope some of the young defenders (Wilson, Simmons, collins, Thomas, Ojulari, and other edge guy from last year) develop and then go big defense the next offseason.
What I hope is that Murray shows something good this year, and a few of the younger OL and front seven players step up.
While I like the idea, conceptually, of continuing to add to our pile of picks, if there are next level guys available, you pick two and set parts of your franchise for a LOOONG time. Imagine getting a Fitz and prime time in the same draft. But it has to be that level guy. It can’t be Paris johnson. Has to be a Tony boselli.
They both have to work out though. If you don’t hit on the picks or use them at not-premium positions, you just prolong your employment telling your boss and the fans that you’re well-positioned for the next draft.
Just huffing hopium like cheese on ether here.
I don't want to continuously do it, only one more year. At that time, we should have enough upper tier talent to compete if our front office does it right. They got amazing value from their first haul (at least it appears) so I would trust them to do it again.
You can consistently trade a dollar for $1.25 but if you end up spending it on Luna you’re never getting ahead.
I think if the Cardinals ended up with #2 and #3, they could move down a few slots and still get the top defensive player since I expect we will see something like:
They probably traded $1 for $1.75 if you ask me.
Will you say that if Houston’s pick ends up at 20?
You’re right. We should strive for sub-mediocrity on both sides of the ball instead of first building a strength while hoping (yes hope plays a role with this green cadre of coaches and general
If you say so . . .
I'm not. How Cardinals would it be to do that every year thinking you're the smartest guy in the room only to never actually take advantage of the extra top pick? Then again, since we're clearly going to need this season and next season to rebuild this roster, given the missed opportunities, maybe punting yet another season is worth it.
I am if you can move from 2 to 5, while adding multiple high picks.
I want to see incremental improvement.
