Rob Housler TE Cards 3rd round pick

[AZ Native]

Can't defend this one.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I want to scream so damn bad. I really thought I was above getting pissed about this stuff anymore. I can't even explain how dissappointed I am. Nothing against the player.

i'm with ya.

i'd say that at least after this abomination of a draft another horrific season, at least it will be the end of Graves... but that guy will probably get another contract extension out of this, simply for saving us the most money he could during the lockout.

 

[desertdawg]

Justin Houston AND Martez Wilson fall to you, and THIS is the pick? An "un-willing run blocker who doesn't have the strength to block in the running game". Right after you draft a running back.

How does Steve Kiem still have a job?

That's what I'm saying.

Love Dockett's twitter

LMAO!

 

[clif]

OH GOD! Why do my teams have to be run by idiots!? (Suns, Dbacks, Cardinals)

 

[slanidrac16]

We've just stepped into the wayback machine. We have become the old Cardinals once again.

 

[Ed Burmila]

Face it guys, this is the Andrew Luck plan.

We won't win 3 games this season.

 

[D-Dogg]

WTF?

Man, it's like they shot away all their intelligence with the first pick and now need to eff up on purpose.

Wow.

 

[Syracusecards]

Are these motha's drinking on the job? Seriously? Come on son! This is what year round scouting has come up with?

They've been too preoccupied with free agency...

 

[Zeno]

sigh...I guess stuff like this should 1) not surprise me being a Cardinal fan since '88 and 2) not bother me

I just want to see some light at the end of the tunnel, 5-11 SUCKS

I'm with ya. Only promising thing I have is the Washington Caps. And they're currently losing.

Wow.

lol.

 

[clif]

I guess we're keeping our powder dry.

 

[Cheesebeef]

They've been too preoccupied with free agency...

LOL'er!

 

[D-Dogg]

Face it guys, this is the Andrew Luck plan.

We won't win 3 games this season.

And the team that only wins 1 will get Luck before us.

It's the Cardinal Way.

 

[bg7brd]

Not a blocker. fastest TE in the draft. Weird.

I will wait to see him before I judge this pick...

There's a thought!!

 

[Arizona's Finest]

So we are going to address OLB, QB, and OL during Free Agency????

Thats gotta be the plan, right?

 

[MrYeahBut]

Maybe Whiz will be grateful Obama raised the unemployment checks to 99 weeks

 

[Cheesebeef]

I tell you what... if one of the eighty billion QBs we passed on DOES end up being a stud, I don't care how good Peterson ends up being... with the rest of this draft, it will go down as the worst in the history of the team.

 

[artp]

We've just stepped into the wayback machine. We have become the old Cardinals once again.

Take away K Warner and Whiz is the same as Green, McGinnis, Tobin, et al. This is a tough draft to watch.

Tight end Housler becomes third pick
Posted by Darren Urban on April 29, 2011 – 5:57 pm


The Cardinals took tight end Rob Housler out of Florida Atlantic in the third round. Housler came on as a senior and showed well at the combine. He had 39 receptions for 629 yards and four touchdowns last season. NFL Network’s Charles Davis said he reminds him of the Giants’ Kevin Boss. He is athletic, standing 6-foot-5 and weighing 248 pounds. He is married with a child too.

Ben Patrick, whose contract is up, seems unlikely to return. The other Cards’ tight ends are Jim Dray and Stephen Spach, so it was a need. Pro Football Weekly said he can catch in a crowd, and he is fast (4.46 was one of his timed 40s).

Housler said the Cards were a team that had showed interest in him pre-draft. He acknowledged he has to work on his blocking — a conversation he already had with Ken Whisenhunt — but he can “get open and stretch the field.”

Too bad we are in a lockout so they can't fire themselves.

 

[Heucrazy]

The offense was putrid last year. A RB and a TE just doesn't bother me as much as it does the rest of you. Maybe the defense will be better if the offense actually gets some 1st downs?

 

[clif]

Maybe the Cardinals are on furlough due to the lockout?

I'd have no problem with this pick. If it were two rounds later.
