Keim press conference is coming up on youtube

[AZCardsWin]

No, someone just forgot we traded it to HOU as part of the Hopkins trade.

That is correct. My bad! Hopefully a trade down in the 1st or 2nd round nets us a 3 or a 4 to address the TE position! Fingers crossed. #InKeimWeTrust

He will monitor the RB position? What does that mean? Wake up it is another hole you created.

 

[Stout]

What an absolute chump. I've got this team and Newcastle United giving me a freaking migraine.

 

[QuebecCard]

Complete chickenbleep answer. Complete copout. I get he doesn't want to admit his gross incompetence, but basically "every legal way to acquire a player is a possible way to fill this need" is LAME. A gaping roster hole--a pair of gaping roster holes--he idiotically allowed to happen, and this is the milquetoast answer we get. What a tool.

Ok...

Play Keim for a moment and give us the answer that would satisfy?

 

[QuebecCard]

I think 2 of the top 5 TE's in this draft will still be on the board in the 4th rd.

We don't have a 4th round pick.

I'm worried about the RB position too, hopefully Eno Benjamin shows enough in preseason to be the #3 RB. Do we bring back Det RB Adrian Peterson to be the #2 RB, he still has some gas in the tank or KC FA Damien Williams. I do think we draft a RB in first two rounds. We have too!!!

I was VERY disappointed in losing TE Dan Arnold. Young and seemingly getting better by the season, he was one of the better TE's we have seen in AZ since Jay Novacek in the 1980's LOL. I wish we could of kept him, he did get paid nicely by CAR.

The most frustrating part if the "Byron Murphy is a slot guy" line. He as a first round guy on their board and he can't play outside.

The board is the problem Steven.

And you know that he was projected as a slot CB, a virtual full time position in today's game.

It didn’t seem like he had much of a sense of urgency to do anything at the position; and it also felt like when he was asked about PP21 it was more reminiscing over his time here (comparing it to AW) as opposed to actively trying to keep him. Not sure I would’ve matched Minny’s 10mil, but it didn’t sound like he was banging on the door to keep him.

Yes the GM is responsible for the current state of our roster. Believe it or not.

I'm just trying to imagine Keim deliberately creating a hole and why.

Think along the lines of incompetence.

Think along the lines of what he precisely should have done and let me in on the secret.

P.S. we're 6 months from the start of the season.

Would not be in a position we are in with no outside CB, RB and TE positions. You are defending the guy and keep asking everyone what they would do. Please enlighten us on his plan and be specific. We obviously can't figure out what he is doing.

All of this Chase Edmonds talk is eerily reminiscent of the Andre Ellington hype of 2014.

 

[Solar7]

Being a nearly full time position doesn't take away that most teams' best receivers don't line up there still. We spent a premium pick to try to take away players who are the 2nd or 3rd best receiver on the team, while having no ability to cover the enormous guys on the outside who just absolutely take over games.

Yeah we don’t have a 4th.

You’re the problem Steven.

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Most of the posts in this thread must have been made by former Washington FB fans. They won the offseason EVERY year. Not so much the regular season.

Lol, how’s the Cardinals regular season record treating us since 1989?

Who else is responsible for roster construction?

You know you can create a hole due to negligence, right?

Hmm, a gm should be proactive and know what his plan is months, and even years ahead of time and adjust accordingly. Are you suggesting keim didn’t know the contractual facts and circumstances of his team?

 

[Chopper0080]

And you know that he was projected as a slot CB, a virtual full time position in today's game.

Unless 60% suddenly has become the equivalent to 100%, a slot CB is about 40% less than a full time position.

Yes, I am also aware that he was projected as a CB who could play in the slot. However, when you take a player in the top 45 of a draft it is implied you are taking him because he is able to grow into something more than a sub-package role. Especially when you as the team drafting him state you had a first round grade on him.

if it makes you feel any better:

John Schneider and John Lynch have the same issue Steve Keim does:

giant holes at CB on their respective rosters. They also appear to be pursuing the same strategy
