I have come to the conclusion we're drafting Kyler Murray for better or worse. If there is a trade down, I can see us taking a guy like Ed Oliver and going to the well early to take Harry or another premier WR with the OL being another concern. As it stands, I see us taking Harry in the second if he lasts and we stay put but there would be I suspect a lot of teams offering picks after a night of thinking of who is still available and how a team falls in love with a player. I think getting a teammate on the OL from Oklahoma at an area of need would be great in the third. Henderson is a x factor toy which I believe Kingbury would love to have and offers more big play potential in the offense than relying on Edmonds or our other third down backs. I have the Cards finally going defense in the fifth with Michael Jackson who is versatile but lacks top end speed and could move to safety with great man coverage skills. Mack is simply a good football player who can stuff the middle in a 3-4, stubborn at the point of attack and one of those immovable objects which though will have to take breathers due to his size. Davis is a versatile OL option. Wesley (one of those let Kingbury get one of his own) and Hart are prototypical Air Raid receivers, while Pipkins is that small school prospects Keim is drawn to with potential... my mock is a mesh of what I think the Cardinals will do and players towards the end I like which basically means I am here for your comedy entertainment

I love it, very good. Players taken actually have a possibility of being there at round chosen. Would love to have Harry there when we pick in round 2. I also agree that the Cards are going to take Murray and hope its for the better. :D

I think this offense has so many holes as is, plus shaking up the roster to adapt elements of the Air Raid, makes this draft an effort to get the offense on the right track

You chose 8 offensive players which I think is good. They loaded up in free agency on defense and have lots of holes to fill on the offense. I also like that you took 3 wrs. That is a huge need.

jetstream, don't forget the picks we'll get for Rosen. Either a one or a two and four. Just a guess.

I am thinking a second but still think Rosen is worth Belichick's interest with his first. Rosen is worth a first but since we have placed ourselves in this situation, it now seems to make getting a one will not be possible due to the other teams dictating our value. Since I have no idea what that pick is, I did not use an additional pick. Now if we did get that pick in the first, I see it being directed towards Harry to ensure getting him, then in two, one of those picks like Jeffery Simmons because the team might have him placed higher than we expect on their board or even a TE

This draft is loaded at defense and I do not argue their worth but I think it also lends us to being able to get the offensive talent we currently need to upgrade. Harry is that universal WR which can adapt to any system with that big body potential to be a number one. In a perfect world I would say use it on Marquis Brown if we get a pick in the first and hope Harry is then there too in the second but once a WR is picked, I think there will be a run on the position. I really like Penny Hart who has that jitterbug quickness to run Air Raid routes and YAC. I think a guy like Renfrow out of Clemson also has that possibility to really work the interior of the field on slants too and a consistent go to guy to move the chains, having more worth under Kingsbury like the Patriots utilize that type of trait

Probably unpopular on here but I would much rather take Jeffery Simmons at 33 than N´Keal if he falls that far.

Wouldn't it be crazy if the Cards drafted Murray and proceeded to trade Murray instead of Rosen ;)

I don't understand that we put ourselves in a bad situation for trading Rosen. If we "leaked" info that we were going to take Bosa, and then come draft day, we took Murray, I would think that it would make it harder to trade Rosen as teams would have their Boards set. Now teams are open to the possibility that we might want to trade JR. If only one team wants Rosen, we'll have to settle for a two, probably, but if two teams are interested, the price will go up. And keep in mind Rosen has been paid bonus money, so that's another plus for teams to want him.
