Saints would’ve gotten him before we did.

Which tells how bad the Cardinals are to protect the critical information of who they want in the draft. That draft went as that every team knows Cardinals want a QB so they better jump ahead of us if they want one too.

Just don't believe it.

You don't sit and wait for a QB that's number #1 on your board no matter what you think the teams in front might do.

Exactly. As proven by the move up to get Josh Rosen (who was obviously not #1 on anybody’s board). Unless Keim screwed it up. Which is very possible

It was close but I think that Rosen was #1 on this board.
Sadly but I have to admit I was high on Rosen. I had him ranked third after Mayfield and Darnold. I was screaming at the TV when Buffalo traded up: please pick Josh Allen, please, not Josh Rosen. Well, the rest is history. The two QBs that I don't like at all: Allen and Lamar are the best in that class.

I liked Lamar. I wasn't here then, I was over at RoTB but I was firmly on the Lamar train. Followed by Rosen who I thought was most pro ready.

I didn't like Allen at all, like many. To be fair he really wasn't worth the #7 pick for what he was and he sucked quite a bit as a rookie. I didn't think he could improve so quickly.

I really didn't like Darnold at all so I at least got that one right.

I also liked Mayfield. I don't think the book is written on him yet. Brown's still Browning. He has show some top end ability at the NFL level.

I always love the looking back threads about amazing all-star players we could have had and at the same time realizing they became the amazing all-star player they are now possibly because we did not draft them here. :)

So was Rodgers. He was promised by the Cardinals to pick him and that is why he was at the draft and sat all day. We took Antron instead. :p

I was so wrong on Rosen. I thought he was a sure thing and the 2nd best in the draft...behind Darnold. Shows what the hell I know!

To be fair I think that class was largely ruined by the Orgs that drafted them. Allen and Lamar were lucky to get good ones.
I mean, were the Bills "good?" They've been inept for a couple decades with a couple decent years sprinkled in.

We’ll keep this in mind every time you attempt to critique Murray;) I became very concerned about Rosen when he said one of his favorite things to do was to sit under a tree reading a book while sipping his coffee. Almost like the first interview I saw with Cooper & he had the personality of jolly old St. Nick.
