I don't expect a winning season any more. Unless something totally unexpected happens like winning the next couple of games. Which, we all know has about a 2% chance of happening. I now expect 4 or 5 wins. The usual bad Cardinals season that isn't bad enough to get who we really need in the draft.
Where do you even start at this point? We need:

Starting QB
WR 2
DT
DE
Edge Rusher
CB 1
CB 2

Several teams are rebuilding on the fly while we're a year in a half of a "rebuild" going nowhere.

The first two drafts Monti has had were supposed to fix everything on that list except QB, DT and Edge Rusher (unless Ojulari was supposed to be the answer at Edge Rusher). If no one on the roster now can be counted on as a guy we want to keep around for any of those spots going into next year then his first two drafts are very bad.

Paris and MHJ appear to be good picks, at least he didn't blow those.

This is precisely why I have been banging on the Tip Reimann pick. 3rd rounders should be key contributors

Hey, he started yesterday!

My least favorite pick of the draft was Adams. I hope he winds up working out.

Garrett Williams is arguably our CB1. Still wait & see on Melton.

Just so hard to judge the CBs with GameStop workers rushing the passer.
SMB is clearly ass, as he has been the majority of his career.

Well, yeah… that’s just another reason a lot of us were pissed about the offseason, not just because we wouldn’t be able to generate pressure but it would make it impossible to get a legit look at if any of the corners are actually good.

So, we’re gonna go into the offseason likely asking the same damn questions not only about the pass rush, but also the CB room.

But Cheese, remember, there was nobody in FA available that could've helped us!

I pretty much dislike everything past round 1. We drafted to fill holes in round 1, which I applaud.

Then we traded down needlessly in round 2 when great players were still on the board. Then we just made reaches and luxury picks. The draft seemed as much about replacing impending free agents than anything else.

Can't improve when you're just scheming to fill future holes!

Finishing 9-8 is the minimum for success now in my opinion. The schedule is overall easier in the 2nd half of season, so finishing with 8 wins or less would be disappointing.(assuming no major injuries of course).

I originally thought 7 wins would be a success because the schedule was so brutal in first half. I wasn't expecting 5-4(and certainly not first in division) at the halfway point.

I want the playoffs.

I predicted 10 wins when opponents dropped.
Doubled down on 10 wins when the schedule came out
I think it will take 10 wins to make the playoffs.

No playoffs. No successful season...just another building year

I think 10 wins could get us the division.
