Kyler will run the draft

[volcardinal]

I pray this will not happen OT is actually a strength of this team. According to PFFT Kyler wants Paris Johnson to be our #1 pick. If that happens I now realize why Monti and Johnahan got the job, they bowed down to MB and told him KM can be great.

I wouldn’t call OT a strength, less of a weakness than other areas, we need OG and Center more but that doesn’t mean we are strong at tackle.

That being said I would not be good with taking an OT at #3.

 

[Fitz4Ever]

Dj Humphries has been stealing money for years. Hes terrible. If he was replaced it would be a good thing.

 

[CardNots]

I support drafting PJ upon trade down. On a per game basis, very low returns on DJ over his career for the money spent.

Do you… do you watch the games?!

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Which means we're not getting him, and he'll turn out to be great.

 

[ajcardfan]

It would not be the worst draft pick in Cardinals history. When Fitz was in the draft people were like "Don't pick Fitz, we have Boldin!!!" And we were very bad at other positions. Obviously, it was the best draft decision in AZ Cardinals history.

But if we passed on Anderson and took PJ at #3, I would be disappointed.

 

[az jam]

Keim never build a top notch offensive line for the Cards.

 

[JohnnyCakes]

Paris Johnson would be a very safe and solid pick for a team that does not draft well. I would have no issues with this

 

[BirdGangThing]

Never gonna happen. If we go O-line we will be trading back to do so.

 

[CardsFan88]

Hump is solid, not great, but might be starting to break down.
Beachum is serviceable.

If they're a strength of the team, it's only because we have a historically bad roster, not because they are a strength.

I hope we address the line in this draft if only because Kyler or our next QB need it, and this is the year to have rookie OL'men take their lumps.

That said, I hope it's day two, and then get a steal late.

The number 3 pick should most definitely not be used on an offensive lineman.

Just looked up the Kansas City Chiefs line, which is considered one of the best in football every year.

Here is a breakdown of where they drafted their offensive line players (or where players they traded for or signed were drafted by other teams, if drafted at all):

2nd, 3rd, 3rd, 3rd, 3rd, 5th, 5th, 6th, 6th, 7th, 7th, UDFA, UDFA, UDFA, UDFA.

Have looked this up in years past as well and surprisingly most teams' lines aren't chock full of top picks but mid to late round picks and undrafted players.

You have to have great line coaching and gather players who will play as a cohesive unit regardless of where they are selected.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Paris Johnson is my favorite O-Lineman in this draft and Skowronski is not far behind. Both have high floors but only Johnson has a ceiling as high as the two top defensive players.

With that being said, neither is the prospect that Anderson or Carter is. Trade back..... fine. At 3 or 4? Disappointing but understandable given my impressions of Monty and this organization.

I think PJ is a holding machine. From the tape I have watched he won't be able to get away with that in the NFL. Obvious passing downs the Umpire will already have their flag in hand. That said he sure appear to have that nasty streak I prefer in our linemen.

 

[volcardinal]

I rather have Skowronski he could play all 5 positions on the OL. Nothing against PJ he will be a good player, don't want either one at 3.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

If paris johnson were in prior drafts, what OTs would he be comparable to? Certainly not a wirfs, right?

 

[volcardinal]

I told this was going to happen. Stupid absolutely stupid.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Going to need a good line whether Kyler is here in a year or gone by then.

 

[CardNots]

I’ll be paying attention to the Texans next year 4 sure

[FB94]

Next two picks need to be DL / CB or Center. Trade Hop for a 2 and we get all three

Bears just drafted a different lineman.

Hopefully Kyler will want Harrison combined with Caleb Williams or Drake Maye next year

hahaha

Everyone should really be hoping Kyler comes back healthy and lives up to his contract. This team will go much farther, faster, if they don't have to start over at QB again.

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

You all are stuck with KM if we like it or not. No one would take a small QB at that price point. Even if a better QB is available in a draft we can't and shouldn't take him. Just live with Kyler, for better or worse, till next contract do us part. Build a great team around him in the meantime, so you can plug and play someone else down the line.
