Who did you want at 6?
I might have rolled the dice on Carter. I’m just if they mindset that top 6-ish picks should be rare. You should be hoping for a homerun there. Like we landed Patrick Peterson at 5. And he didn’t drop. That was appropriate talent at that slot. Maybe this draft just didn’t have top end talent available. I’m not saying Paris went at the wrong time or that I’m disappointed that we went oline. Just that it’s disappointing when you have the rare opportunity to draft in top 6 you walk away with maybe top 15-20 talent.
I think his ceiling is higher than Hump's ceiling ever was. Humphries was a fringe 1st round pick.
I heard probably 5-6 talent evaluators say that this was a relatively weak class. I've heard that most teams only had 15 first round grades, and there are some classes that have 40 first round grades.
But I think Hump hit his ceiling or got 80%+ of the way there. PJJ’s ceiling is Hump or Laremy Tunsil.
Agree in my opinion Will Anderson Jr was the best player in this draft and is exactly what ARZ needed on the defense. If he was gone then I would have been okay with ARZ trading down and taking any player left on their board adding to their draft pick total this and next year. They basically traded Will Anderson Jr for a lottery ticket in next year's draft. I believe in the saying a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush because its hard to project out where the chips will fall in the draft. What if HOU pick ends up in teens? What if one of the top guys either has a bad year or sustains a major injury late in the year? Hell even with Anderson, ARZ still may have ended up with #1 overall pick next year.
I was curious about this number and just looked up the height of every QB to make a SB since 1980 and only 5 were under 6'2".
Joe Thomas is a once in a decade type player though. You could draft 20 offensive tackles and none would be as good.
Okay but that doesn’t change the likely reality that you didn’t get much better in the short or long term than where we are today.
I think that Paris is a foundational player that will matter more two years from now than he will next season.
The Cardinals were 4-12 because they had a statistically significant number of injuries. If this team doesn't get as beat as last years team, they are probably better even if by better, they are 6-11 or 7-10.
Well this calls for some champagne
You can only draft from the players available.
If i could take a punter in FFL - it would be the Cards punter
and plays hurt......
Like Josh Allen? Another physical freak?
nailed it.... this years FA crop backs this statement 100% Hop and Budda will be moved for draft cap by trade deadline.
I am tanking a flyer on him at the end of the draft as we have a keeper (1 player) FFL that slots where they were originally drafted, i should have kept Hurts as my 20th rd draft pick last year as i picked him up as a FA, but i have Chubb as my 9th rd pick for the last few years and RB is a priority
I’m hoping you are right on hop and baker.
they need to go ahead and move Hump to RT now
I think the Cards are kicking the can to next year hoping the talent pool is better than this year. Plus load up on cheap (draft) players while they eat the cap hit for a trade of Kyler.
It won’t be his performance determining his fait with the Cardinals but this simple factor, can he grow through coaching.
Next year needs to be about the now, not the future. I'm not looking for a 3-5 year plan to get good. If we aren't planning to compete in 2024, what the heck are we doing?
