I didn't see this coming. What does it mean at #8?

Maybe a trade down.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Adding a defensive lineman might be the way to go. Trade down and take Kinlaw.

Really allows a BPA draft pick but doesn't exclude that being oline IMO

Man, I sure hope Simmons, Okudah, or Brown drops.

depending on this guy in any way shape or form or thinking this alleviates the need for a RT seems like Old Cardinals thinking. Last 3 years he's played in 12 of 48 games. Dude is Mr. Glass. Hope they didn't give him anything more than Vet Min.

What it makes me wonder is if he got an offer from another team, and while we would have liked to wait until after the draft to bring him back, we have to be proactive.

I'm a little grumpy because I think we're going to skip investing at OT now, but at least we're not solely relying on Justin Murray anymore.

Keim is really having a good offseason hopefully that continues into the draft. Seems like a smart move keeping a good player when health allows, granted he hasn't been healthy as much as I'm sure he would like but maybe be gets some luck and a chip on his shoulder

 

[SoonerLou]

I've been seeing a few mocks with either Simmons or Brown being available at 8..

Makes you wonder..

 

[BurqueCardFan]

We really won't know how these moves pan out until the season but it really seems like they have attempted to fill almost every hole prior to the draft. Early on WR, LB, DL and OL were probably the biggest glaring holes. Now it seems as if they have added 1-2 pieces at each spot. Also locked up Drake for at least a year.
A lot will depend on health of some of these guys coming back from injury (Alford, Gilbert, Garcia, etc...). The draft really will be a situation where any production we get will be icing on the cake.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Best part of the original tweet is "UP TO". Hopefully this guy stays healthy, but I'm not betting on it.

We need you to play.

It means no RT, possible trade down or BPA. I've said it many times. We can get by in 2020 with Justin Murray & Marcus Gilbert at RT. Didn't know for sure we would resign Gilbert when I first said it but I mentioned the possibility. If he can even get to 75% of his pro bowl form it will be great.

Is Simmons really that much of a can't miss prospect?

Who do we trade down with?

 

[Timm Rosenbach]

The best offseason we have had in Free Agency. A bright spot in troubled times

 

[BritCard]

None of these moves have any effect on the draft pick depending on the guarantees.

Considering we paid Gilbert 6m for doing nothing and his injury history I'm guessing his G's will be low.

So if a tackle they like falls to them then it's fair game but same with most positions.

I do however think Keim would like to trade back and get the 2nd back.

 

[Harry]

Yes

 

[Stout]

What a freaking moronic signing, and a waste of cap space. If this in any way, shape, or form changes our draft plans, I'll puke.

 

[MadCardDisease]

Is he even healthy?

 

[Proximo]

There is almost no such thing as can't miss.

50% of first rounders bust.

No he isn't can't miss, neither are any of the tackles despite what others on here will tell you.

 

[Proximo]

This is not changing the plans, it is telling you the plan was most likely not to draft a tackle in the first place.

 

[Syracusecards]

Man, I sure hope Simmons, Okudah, or Brown drops.

would love to see Okudah.

 

[SoonerLou]

Is it possible they would want to start Wirfs out at Guard and then slowly ease his transition to RT?

I thought I read somewhere we could cut Sweezy and save some cash.
