FYI @MadCardDisease I love the idea of grabbing a safety at one point. It was a weak spot all year when another safety came in.

I wouldn't trade up for Fuaga. While I like him, I think the Cardinals aren't in position to chase players right now. There are a number of other tackle prospects who are close to Fuaga and at least one (if not three of them) will be available at 27.

I think it's kind of hard to do mock before free agency since we don't know what holes are filled at that point.

First , the accumulation of draft picks allow us to be flexible and desl if necessary.
I’m not sure about taking a safety especially if there is a decent edge or another DT.
But I love this draft.

These simulators give up third rounders like water.

I don’t see how we pass on MHJ. This team needs star power. He not only fills an obvious need on this team but he gives us huge star power. He is the type of player that will make other players around him better.
Nuf said.

Any draft that has us taking Marvin is a winner!! Instead of the safety at 70, I'm targeting Cooper Beebe the OG from K-ST. He's going to be a good one.

This team needs an Oline to protect and create opportunities for the run game. Without that nothing else matters.
Everything else is complimentary

Who plays safety after the two cap casualties who started last year?
I don't think both will be cut. Keep Thompson and sign a Julian Blackmon/Geno Stone in free agency.

Championship. EDIT: If we have reached the point of debating dudes like that, I give up. You win. Bring them in can't hurt.

It's way early to do a Mock Draft but I'm bored so here it goes. In this mock I'm assuming that 3 QBs go off the board 1, 2, 3 leaving MHJ available to the Cardinals. It's a dream scenario and the Cardinals go for the sure thing.

#4 - Marvin Harrison JR - WR - OSU
6'4" 205 lbs

The Biggest no brainer in sports. The Cardinals are in desperate need of a big physical WR who can play outside. They have MHJ staring them right in the face. Somehow he falls to the Cardinals at #4 overall. Monti decides to give Kyler another weapon to pair with Connor and McBride.

#17 - Taliese Fuaga - RT - Oregon St.
6'6" 330 lbs

TRADE: Monti makes another Draft Day move and trades with Jacksonville. The Cardinals get the #17 overall pick in exchange for the Cardinals 2024: #27, #66, #104 and a 2025 5th rounder. Fuaga is a physically dominating RT who loves to bury defenders whenever he gets a chance. Fuaga has strong hands with a nasty punch that jolts defenders on contact. The Cardinals continue to build around a powerful dominate OL that will be around for at least 4-5 seasons.

#35 - T'Vondre Sweat - NT - Texas
6'4" 360 lbs

It's time for the Cardinals to address the Defense. Hopefully the Cardinals have already filled a bunch of holes via Free Agency. Now they add a monster in the Middle. Sweat is a massive player who is near impossible to move. He will clog the middle making it difficult for offenses to run between the tackles. He has the strength to collapse the pocket.

#71 - Javon Bullard - S - Georgia
5'11" 195 lbs

More depth for the Defensive side of the ball. When Budda and/or JT were out with injuries this past season, the lack of depth at safety became obvious. Adding Bullard will add another player capable of providing much needed depth there. The Cardinals love that he is physical and plays smart.

#90 - Braelon Allen - RB - Wisconsin
6'2" 245 lbs

James Conner is a man among boys in the running game. However Conner's physical style of running means that he will most likely miss a few games due to injuries. Also Connor is approaching 30 years of age so finding his eventual replacement is a must. Allen is a Connor clone. Much like Connor, Allen won't run past you, he will run through you.



I'm going to end this Cardinals mock here in the late 3rd round. With this mock I'm confident that the Cardinals found 3 quality starters and some rotational guys in just the first 3 rounds. They still have a handful of picks on day 3 to add to the depth of this team. Can't wait for this offseason!


I still would have loved this draft. Four of my guys are in this guys top 16 rookies at the quarter mark:
