All this just makes me more irritated that we have no Sunday or Monday night games. Yet the Browns, Bucs, and Jets do?

five draftees that landed in the perfect place

4) Christian Kirk, WR, Cardinals (No. 47 overall): Kirk was the most impressive prospect I met with leading up to the 2018 draft. Talking to him was like talking to a 10-year NFL veteran. He's mature beyond his years and he has a very specific plan on how to become a top-flight professional receiver. Larry Fitzgerald will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but his career is winding down. Once he decides to retire, Kirk can take over the leadership role for that receiving corps. This is a perfect fit

It’s amazing what two picks have done to my excitement level for the season!
me too.

Also, in line with this thread. Chris Spielman, he did draft coverage for Fox radio, was on his local radio show this morning praising Rosen. Thought he was the best QB in the draft and loves his attitude.

He also praised Keim and slammed Gruden for the small price Keim paid to move up to get Rosen. He couldn't believe how little Keim offered and, even moreso that it was accepted.

As @iLLmatiC once said, "I hate to be Keim's kids at Christmas time". Also it explains which GM was low-balling Gettlemen to trade his #2 pick :D:D:D:D

Lol Keim's a shrewd business man. Unfortunately you're getting the $5 movies at Walmart if you're his kids.

The Cardinals' deal to get Josh Rosen was a thing of beauty. GM Steve Keim only had to move up five picks from No. 15 to get the best thrower in the draft. I love Rosen. I love his motion, his arm, his intelligence and especially the chip on his shoulder that comes from being the fourth quarterback taken. Keim loved it all more. And it went noted -- in a Friday appearance on my SiriusXM Radio show, "Schein on Sports" -- when Keim praised Rosen as a "football junkie" in an unprovoked comment. Because it is true. Nothing made me angrier during the pre-draft process than the unfair beating Rosen took. With his mix of arm talent and football IQ, Rosen will beat out Sam Bradford for the starting job. And that's not all: Flanked by Larry Fitzgerald and David Johnson, the UCLA product will win Offensive Rookie of the Year. Rosen helps the Cardinals at their biggest area of need and gives them amazing buzz, too. It's a dreamy marriage, and I cannot wait to watch Rosen prove doubters wrong.
