Losing the lower pick surely sucks.

[TRW]

I predict we will find out some time around April 25th.

SEA must win next week in order to go to the playoffs

i am very torn between locking in draft pick 3 or 4

and

eliminating the Seahawks from the playoffs

That would be sweet to knock them out!

 

[Cards Crazy]

People I hate to say this but all speculation is just that remember Randy Moss was Taken 20th and he turned out to be pretty Good I think Jerry Rice slid a little bit too to a percieved lack of speed

 

[Outerlimits]

Eh. While dropping a bit in the draft is a bummer, the performance today increases the optimism about the coaching staff.(HC, OC, and DC) This wasn't some fluke lucky win either as the Cards dominated many aspects of the game.(with a far less talented roster)

Plus, watching Eagles fans have meltdowns is always amusing.

Well we also blew it in 2003 for the 2004 draft by winning the last game with a last second win over the Vikings. We dropped to draft pick #3 and did not get Eli Manning, who would not want to come here anyways and was traded to the NY Giants. So we got stuck with WR Larry Fitzgerald. So here we go again, damn!!

2004 NFL Draft Results​

Round 1​

1. San Diego Chargers
Eli Manning, QB, Mississippi

2. Oakland Raiders
Robert Gallery, T, Iowa

3. Arizona Cardinals
Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Pittsburgh

4. New York Giants
Philip Rivers, QB, North Carolina St.

The play of KM, the OL and Wilson getting going was more than worth it. KM played well and never got down which was great. Conner was a beast. I feel vindicated having insisted Dortch get more playing time and being told he didn’t deserve it. The draft will work itself out and we are still in good shape.

SD got a HAUL for drafting Eli, and then trading him to NY. You go ahead and take the best available anyway.

If you want Kyler to get back to be a "top 10 QB"...then this was a huge loss. Its the equivalent of missing out on the Peyton Manning of WR's

Receivers aren't equal to QBs in impact.

 

[AZCB34]

One thing I do dislike is that Nabers is sub 6’ while Rome is 6’3. I can see a trade back for Rome.

I’ve seen quite a bit of LSU fireball and Nabers is quite good but not really a50/50 battle for the catch kind of guy near as I can tell

 

[Yuma]

In general yes. There have been exceptions.

 

[JosiahLee]

Lose out on MHJ then they really should have kept Hopkins and kept building Kyler's confidence. Good play from Dortch went a long way.

I say win and let the chips fall where they may. Losing out on Big Ben to get Fitz turned out to be ok.

Don’t get me wrong, I def want MHJ but there is a real possibility he stays one more year with $20 million being rumored to what he’ll get for staying.

 

[Stout]

But that win was as enjoyable a Cards game that I’ve seen in quite some time.

This team doesn’t quit on this staff. This staff keeps this teams players head where it needs to be. The talent level marched out on that field today wasn’t nowhere near what the Eagles have on the other side. By all metrics this should have been a blow out.

Congrats to Gannon going in there beating his old team.

Great game overall by Kyler. If he could just keep that level of play consistently we can all have hope for the future. Regardless of draft position. Same for Wilson.

We still have 2 #1 picks in this draft and I’m excited to see what MO does with them regardless of where they fall.

Fun Sunday.

Yep. Eff it, I'll take the win. Say what you want about Monti's errors (like I always do lol), but we have instilled a never-say-die culture.

 

[JosiahLee]

Now the only choice is Alt or trade down...but we may not have many people calling for the #4 pick.

This is what sucks...yes this was a nice win, and provided us a nice 3 hours. But we may have just cost ourselves an all-pro...someone who could have given us 5 YEARS of nice wins and great afternoons. For everyone saying "this will carry over to next year"...no it wont. This roster is going to look completely different. Going from 3 wins to 4 wins still means your a horrible team.

The fun of this win is going to wear off really quick when April comes.

I hear you, but we just can’t get caught up with hypothetical “what ifs”. Who’s to say MHJ doesn’t come into the league and suffer a career ending injury in week 7 of his rookie season?

Reminds me of how we took Jonathan Cooper 7th overall and a freak injury ruined him. You just never know how it will pan out. Nobody thought Justin Jefferson would become Justin Jefferson.

 

[Krangodnzr]

This is kind of like the idea that MHJ was going back to Ohio St, If the Bears aren't taking a QB, they will trade out of the 1 spot.

Fans get way too caught up falling love with particularly players. If the Bears are offered three 1st round picks, they'd be crazy not to move.

Wrong tackle

Yeah really neither is MHJ although he's better in the air than Nabers seems to be. Nabers is an absolute burner, and he's great after the catch. MHJ is more of a long strider he is regularly compared to young AJ Green but he's faster.

Give me either one I'm happy but I do think there's a reason MHJ is higher rated, he's bigger and longer and has great speed. I do agree with the people saying Nabers is better after the catch and has more wiggle.

It would not stun me if they're both stars. I love Odunze too if you're looking for a contested catch guy he's the best of the 3 at that IMO.

I didn't want Paris Johnson but I'm happy we took him so I could live with another stud OL too.

 

[Stout]

Yup.

If Nabers wasn’t in this class then yea this win probably would’ve hurt a lot, but he’s also going to be really great.

Well, we'll be in a tough spot. I don't think either Nabers or Odunze (sp?) will be there for our 2nd pick, and I don't think we take them with our 1st pick. We're kinda in limbo now

He didn't play in the Bowl Game. I would be amazed if he stayed.

 

[Stout]

It's on the coaching to do the tanking, not the players. We saw Gannon do it well earlier in the season.

He tried again with the onside kick

Start getting acquainted with Tez Walker, Adonai Mitchell, Brian Thomas Jr, etc,

He sure did

Except our WR coach who said he was the best one in the draft and we ignored him and traded for Hollywood !

 

[Yuma]

He sure did

I thought it saved some time for us to get the ball back. They drive the length of the field there, we have no time left on the clock.

 

[Chopper0080]

Tez is pretty raw from what I saw this year. I think the top 40 hype may be a little much for him.
