The 2023 NFL Draft Rumor thread

[RON_IN_OC]

All I know is if you have two teams in the same division who both want your pick, that's not a bad thing.

When players demand trades and run around trashing the team they're on it likely prevents the team from getting an ideal value when the trade takes place. Especially with Dhop. Love his play but he's pretty much said screw the Cardinals once the losing started

We're at a point where it's take what you can get now or wait until a top team loses one of their top receivers

And we ain't waiting because Monti wants to clear the books entirely. And he wants to have a successful draft. Plus Dhop didn't just hurt his trade value for the Cardinals - he hurt his own value - by both trashing his team and by representing himself. Unfortunately his value will likely continue to fall

So whatever - it sucks but it is what it is. And I don't even consider Dhop one of Keim's mistakes - made complete sense because we actually almost appeared to be possible legit contenders lmao

Mahomes isn't on our team because moving up 1-3 spots for QBs with tons of warts (at the time) for the cost of a future first round pick and maybe more would have gotten the team absolutely eviscerated by the fanbase. And would have been decried as one of the dumbest moves this franchise has ever made if Mahomes didn't develop in AZ like he did under Andy Reid.

We have established on this board you are very risk averse. I am just pointing out that risk aversion has been the Cardinals MO for a long time which has cost them players.

 

[Chopper0080]

You can't be "aggressive" when the roster is bereft of talent and desperately needs more fliers than it does to mortgage the future for one or two guys.

Getting quality players at critical positions is always priority 1.

No Tannehill, please.

If Tannehill played behind our OL last year, he would have been sacked 75 times. But, then again, he would have been injured after the 20th one.

Sure, but pretending you can accurately tell who those players are when drafting them does not mesh very well with history.

I'll take #10, #30, #63 and 2nd round pick next year.

I thought the draft didn't start til 6pm Az time

Most likely not real, but he is a local sports blogger in Philly.

I could definitely see this happening. Cardinals move to 12, and the Texans draft both Anderson & QB. Cardinals het a big haul to move to 12.

To me it's the only deal that you would even consider doing before the draft starts.. and you can probably get a decent haul from Texas, just because they control all the variables at number two.

 

[Stout]

You are still banging that Keim mentality that gets you jumped for players and left with less talented ones.

Exactamundo.

 

[Harry]

The draft value chart show that a trade to #11 should net the Cards #11, #41, #72 with 230 points to spare or a 2nd in 2024. Anything less would be malfeasance by Monti. If they would like to through in Jeffrey Simmons, I would take #11 and discard the rest.

Throw the chart out on a top 3 pick.

 

[Stout]

You don't execute a trade right now, and don't until you're on the clock. Unless it's the one for Nuk.

 

[slanidrac16]

I think Nuk could be traded tomorrow depending how the first round goes. If the Ravens don’t take a Wr in the first round I can see them calling us tomorrow.

I’m not as risk averse as you think. I didn’t have faith in Keim to make the right moves, and felt like we were slipping into a bad pattern where we never had enough young, cost controlled talent, and it's proving out now.

There's a time and place for being aggressive. Sometimes you need volume, and to preserve later value.

 

[Solar7]

Getting quality players at critical positions is always priority 1.

But you can't consistently overpay because if you're wrong, it compounds that miss.

 

[Totally_Red]

One hour. Get the commissioner ready!

 

[Harry]

Keep hearing the Cards want to get into the end of round one. Not saying they’d move down to there. I heard they turned down some deal with KC that involved Hopkins.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

This is my worry. We trade back to 11 and get neither of the top 3 Dlinemen, top 2 CBs or top 2 OTs.

Schefter just said they are likely going defense.

What a surprise - NOT. QB's always go first. Just a smokescreen.
