Pariah's First-Round Mock; v1

[kerouac9]

If it were me making the pick, I'd take Hightower.

But Glenn just seems like a very Cardinals pick to me; he has that feel. Maybe it's just battered fan syndrome.

It is. I don't think the Cards like Glenn as much as I do. Listen closely to Darren Urban (who will come right out and tell you who the Cards are targeting this time next week), and you'll hear that the Cards like Rieff, the wideouts, trade down, then Ingram.

It'd be only after a serious trade down that they'd take Cordy Glenn.

Why?

Besides what everyone else has stated it is based on the talk from the four Cards insiders in the valley. Doug and Wolf say that Horton loves Ingram. MJ in what he is hearing has Reiff, Ingram, and Floyd as their most likely favorite realistic targets at #13. All seem to say that the Cards might like Glenn, but he is not there top choice or choices. After all the talking heads conversations the Cards top 3 in order seems to be:

1. Reiff
2. Ingram
3. Floyd

Which is why I think they go with Ingram if he is available. Horton is lobbying hard for Ingram because he is so versatile and fills a huge need. I believe Horton is pushing the point that the defense is much closer to being dominant than the offense, and adding a player like Ingram would improve the unit enough to give some breathing room for the offense to make the mistakes that they probably will make.

if we pass on a potential stud OLB for a mediocre T I'm gonna be... not surprised?

Sadly this is true.

Ironically, the mediocre T could turn out to be a stud. Or the stud OLB could turn out to be mediocre.

Any way it turns out, I just pray we "get it right."
