Who cares? How many Cardinal games has Mayock watched last year? Whiz loves to draft TEs and then not utilize them. This team needs help badly on D. You think this Housely kid is going to be an "impact" player right away Whiz has been talking about wanting? The disconnect between the product on the field and coaching staff/FO is growing larger every year. Tell you the truth I hope the Cardinals don't draft Luck next year because I don't trust Wiz or his coaching staff to develop him to his maximum potential.

Housler sounds great. Can he play OLB, OT, OG, or QB?
He can't?
Oh.
He can't?
Oh.
How many times a year does Mayock sit at UPS or at the local sports bar or pay hundreds of dollars for NFL Sunday Ticket to watch the Cards get beat 41-7?
Just because you don't care who wins as long as the tailgate is fun and you get together with ASFN folks on Saturday Night doesn't mean the rest of us feel the same way.
Reading in a bit more, I am coming around to this guy. May become my fave!! 6'5" 250, run 4.4? Giddy up.
Someone named Dave Razzano (NFL scout) said Cardfans will love Housler.
Of course because my standard is far superior to yours and you are the one who inferred that Williams was the best player available.
I said he fit in as BPA where he was taken. Obviously that's subjective depending on the expert. But he us a talented young player. You like other guys better? Cool. Still fits BPA.

Isn't it interesting that all everyone here on the board is far more educated on this player, and adamant that he should have never been drafted here, when my guess is none of you have ever seen this guy play? Doesn't that seem a bit unreasonable to anyone?

Hey now I never said I liked the pick

The problem
Give me a break, Housler was a disaster but let's not go overboard here. Ryan Williams was a unanimous nat'l all freshman selection so he's definitely not a novody if you watch college football.
And Mallett's signing bonus will go up his nose before he starts a game.
Okay, My turn. I have to show some love for the kid from my Alma Mater, Florida Atlantic University, in Boca Raton, FL. He could end up being this year's Jimmy Graham or not.
6'6" 250# 4.4 40 and can catch the ball. The NFL is using TEs more and more.
BTW, I love the Ryan Williams pick also. If the Cards are going to get Bulger, or whomever, they need targets.

It does to me. It's like this every draft day. This could be the greatest Cardinals draft ever. We won't know for a few years.
Yes. I have seen him play. Right here in my hometown. Coached by a legend , Howard Schnellenberger.
I'm not convinced anyone in the Cards FO saw him play either(but I bet he had impressive states on ESPN's website), so not sure why you'd call out people for wanting players they had seen.

Awesome. Maybe he can get 5 yards down field with the 2.75 seconds the QB will have to throw the ball before getting slammed because the Oline blows. That may be the best offensive play of the game because the Cardinals offense should be on the field for 10 seconds a game because their defense blows and have absolutely nobody to stop offenses. Nice draft Wiz/Graves!

It's like nap time at a pre-school in here
And the 1000s of other people who are heavily into the NFL draft never mentioned this guy as our potential 3rd round pick?
Sorry but if we were fans of a team that had a long history of taking guys like this and making it work it would be different. But the Cards have a long history of taking guys like this who are out of the NFL by October of the following year.
So we have a group of people whose talent evaluation is suspect drafting guys for positions they never use high in the draft especially after having just used their #1 pick on one of those positions in 2009 and just had their top 10 first round QB wash out. That doesn't bother you?

So you're telling me that you're happy with CB, RB and TE so far? You even know how bad the Oline and D are judging by your signature.It's like nap time at a pre-school in here
Wally, why are his catches so low? He's got measurables, but for a "pass-catching" TE, his numbers are baloney. Is that a product of the offense, the QB, something else?
Like I said the Cards could draft the waterboy, (sorry but Sandler went to the Patriots at #33) from Central Florida and the janitor from Boston College and several people on here would be happy with the picks.

I'm not naive enough to think that my opinion matters.

Or maybe it proves that only idiots trust where players are rated.
I remember less than a month ago people saying I was crazy having Nate Irving as my third round pick. Well today he wasn't available with our third round pick.
IMO people saying we should have taken Wilson are wrong. Martez Wilson is your typical looks like Tarzan plays like Jane player. Sure he puts up numbers but he doesn't make plays and he's really stiff.

I'm willing to accept the possibility that all three picks may turn out to be solid ones.
But not knowing - (a) who will rush the passer off the edge, (b) what we're doing to bolster a suspect O-line and (c) if Bulger-Skelton-Bartels is our solution to a really bad QB situation - makes me depressed and nervous.

Well did anyone project him this high in the draft? Please share if you have something that indicates they did and why they did. If he was a 5th or 6th round pick you wouldn't have this uproar.
All of us saw the Cards LB's last year. We need help and it was there and we passed on it.
