My comment is about the grade he got. I’m shocked it was that high because he catches a lot of grief here.

1) Bill James used to say that a team's best players are always blamed first and loudest when a team underperforms. Collins is, I think, the highest-drafted player on the defense today, so he's going to take some heat after the team spent the offseason hyping him up.
2) The highest-graded player on a historically bad defense isn't saying much.
3) PFF grades are dumb and useless.

Hhmm. Let me see, who's grade should I use PFF's or K-9's? ??¿?????,
K-9's, of course.
K-9's, of course.
I am not sure this year's defense was historically bad. We have all seen MUCH WORSE from this team, right? Right?

When do you want to start trying to win? What year?

There's always a quibble between posters when we discuss "win now." Some people believe this means "win the super bowl." Some people think this means "compete for the playoffs."

We start trying to win in 2024 - no doubt.
I said in another post - I expect we will be around a .500 team and could potentially sneak into the playoffs.
2025 - We expect to be contenders
We tanked in 2023 - I don't think you can go from tank/our roster to super bowl contender in one year.
It's going to be tougher with Kyler's contract - it just is.
However, if he can continue to play at a high level, we will be dangerous.

Ok. So then the Cardinals are a "win now" team because that is their focus. If you are stating Henry would prefer to go to a title favorite...ok. That makes more sense.

Agree the path to a top five offensive is pretty straight forward! Retain what currently have, and upgrade the WR room. Nobody will be able to stop us!
But fixing the defense will be much harder though. That's why I'm pounding the table for maximum help on defense in both the draft and FA!

Ossi’s preferred injury round is round 3. We have three picks there. That’s where I’d expect a brooks selection.

Only if it’s a know injury. If the injury is undisclosed we draft em in the second

But he's not. He's a good player, but just plays a low impact role.
That's why a top 20 pick is too high for non-pass rushing LBs.

Especially with 3 picks in round three.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
Kyzir white is way better than him and it shows. He's not a good player; he's a roster fill-out player on a bad team.

By what metric would you consider him "good"? Isn't good an above average starter? He ain't that.
Yep - another guy who was drafted for what we thought he could be vs. what he really is.
There are lies, damned lies, and statistics
Let's be honest, the only thing fans see edge players to is get sacks. It's the only thing that registers.
If they throw off a tackle and make a run stop, track a tight end for 20 yards in perfect coverage or seal the outside edge forcing a RB into the path of a LB it doesn't register.
