Kliff Kingsbury says Cardinals not sure at #1 pick with 48 hours to go

[BigRedRage]

Why? What do they have to gain about saying anything? By saying they made up their minds would be closing the door on any opportunity to trade the pick. Why is that dumb?

stop thinking and using your brains

Did a Chargers fan just say that another organization looks dumb? This coming from a fan of the worst organization in all of pro sports?

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm guessing if the Cardinals trade down in the draft they wouldn't announce it until they are ready to go on the clock.

The NFL draft is such a huge entertainment event they probably wouldn't want to take away from that.

Any thoughts?

Hah old guy comment really. Only kids growing up in the 70s / 80s understand what a genius Bugs was

Bugs still had some legs in the 90s...

 

[dscher]

I might be naive but I doubt they are pandering to the league.

If I were running the Cardinals I have values assigned to each variable and those variables are all in play until the 15 minutes are up.

110%

Yes but they whipped our buts on the field and of course folded in New England as I recall

Got to keep those fans glued to the TV Suspense makes great ratings and generates more talk about the NFL.More dollars.

Ratings won't change if the cards come out and say what they are doing. Good grief people it has nothing to do with ratings. Keim just hasn't figured out nobody is trading for the pick so he is still playing checkers when everyone else has moved onto chess.

 

[Delmar M Lewis]

So you're saying Haskins is still in play?

Nah but the top rated kicker is

Apparently the Browns knew they were taking Baker for months.. why didn't we know until draft night?

 

[BleedRed]

If we knew we were taking Murray you would think there would be a leak of us trying to trade JR. At this point there are zero rumors about this..... actually to the contrary. I've heard numerous times the Cards haven't even reached out to other teams at all.... with one day to go. I think we're ready to take Q. Williams but holding out for someone (the Raiders or maybe the Giants) to throw us an offer we can't refuse. Today it seems like multiple teams are now considering trying to trade up to get their QB which plays right into our hands. Personally I think Gruden will cave in tomorrow and give us a nice package for the pick. This is in my opinion the best move for our team going forward. Fingers crossed.

Because there were enough players teams would trade up to get that it made sense to play it close to the vest. This year, not so much. The only reason to hold out now is to make SF wait.

They weren't going to trade the pick though was my point..so based on what the original point was, they would have no issue just coming out and telling everyone. There, imo, is a very good chance that there can be influence from the league. To what degree? Who knows

But trading it was significantly more likely than this year. The only rule in place is a team can't start negotiating with the top pick until a couple days before but no rule stating they couldn't announce to the world their intentions.

Last year Cleveland could have traded away the pick, probably easily. This year the Cards would have loved to trade the tip pick but there are no takersbecause no player is worth that price. As a result it makes no differenceif the Cards tell everyone who they intended to pick.

Ask Bill belicheck - crickets chirping- I honestly don’t know the right move here - I mean I don’t see raiders shooting the moon for murry with David Carr - I would take david Carr paired with Rosen - but I would have kept Bradford because basically I don’t think Cards offensive problems was sams fault! Think it’s proven accurate.

I would love Bosa no matter what - in a vacuum - so that’s my pick bpa

 

[slanidrac16]

I think the majority of us can agree on this. If the cards select Murray and get adequate compensation for Rosen it will soften the blow for Rosen supporters. I would also think most of us don’t want to go down this road with both qb’s on the roster. I’m giving up on a #1 for Josh but maybe a #2 and a #4.

Don't blink.

Rosen is worth a #1 pick.

 

[JeffGollin]

The question is 'WhY?' There isn't a GM who's going to get 'baited' at this point. Every team SHOULD have their draft board DONE...other than a few medicals and criminal records that may pop up...it's sit back ...relax and play out a few trade scenarios in the war room.....they aren't watching presser's of KK saying 'we don't know' and if they are they're laughing.

The answer is "I have my reasons, and I'm not telling you." (It's a HC's prerogative).

if SK doesn`t get a #1 for Rosen then he screwed the pooch IMO.One would think most GMs saw the situation in AZ last season a realize what a mess it was.I know if teams try to trade they will want to pay as little as possible but if SK doesn`t get a RD 1 then he crapped his hat.

 

[The Kraken]

Or perhaps the Cards are trying to convey dysfunction, this combined with PP, maybe it will cause the Raiders to "think" they can take advantage of the situation...

I agree to a point. I would rather a 2 nd and a 3rd than to keep both qbs . I think that would be a mess.

Agree. Tomorrow, teams are gonna get really nervous.. especially after they select Murray. That's what I am assuming the Cards are thinking. No deals regardless until after they pick.. it could cause a massive overvaluing for Josh and drive up his value than if we sold him beforehand. Jmo
