Not that I don't like Jim Dray, but he pretty much sums up our Day 3 picks. Very limited contributions can be expected in 2010 from all of out Day 3 selections in what was considered one of the deepest drafts in recent history.

Dray has certainly proven he can come back from a major knee injury. He tore his ACL, PCL, LCL, hamstring, lateral band and posterior capsule while on punt coverage in a 2007 game against TCU. The injury resulted in two surgeries and caused him to miss significant time in the 2007 and 2008 seasons. Dray worked his way back to full health and played in every game in 2009, earning second-team All-Pac-10 honors. His receiving totals - 11 receptions for 149 yards and three touchdowns as a senior - were modest, but his blocking is what earned him the accolades. Described as an "extra tackle" by his Stanford teammates, Dray uses his considerable size and strength to consistently push defenders off the ball. He gets off the line quickly, but doesn't run particularly fast to separate from defenders, making his size his best asset as a receiver as well as a blocker. A strong overall athlete, Dray's best chance to help an NFL team will be if he adds enough strength to make him a devastating blocking tight end. Otherwise, his pass-catching skills are limited. For that reason, he will be a late draft selection if he is drafted at all.

Thin also at run stuffing tackling ILB's also.We needed a 5th rounder to get kirk Morrison in a trade today.We blew it today.Skelton could be the future though.

Getting Morrison would have taken alot of the sting out of the way I feel about todays picks.

I think Leinart can win a World Championship if we had a top 10 defense.I don't see it there yet but its very early yet with FA's and trades happening everyday.We have some depth in places to trade with.

I want a CHAMPIONSHIP gammit!!

Seeing at least 1 of our 4 3rd days picks getting on the field in 2010 would take the sting out of these picks.

Im going by the accolades given to him by draft boards and most are leaning towards him being a catching TE but they could very well be wrong

Tell Catfish I'm unretireing and coming back so we don't get run on this year.

Hell,somehow at our late pick two years in a row we get the BEST NT in the whole draft ,JUST TO NOT PUT THE STUDS behind him to make the FULL impact it is supposed to lead too.

:bang::mad: I just don't understand.Why not SEAL the deal?We're gonna be very thin again in pass defense unless my sophmore FS from Bama puts it all together to really help us out.

I'm calling a future trade to finish the deal with the money we saved dumping McFadden.

I agree that we're dangerously thin at CB, but I don't understand the panic about the ILB position. We have Hayes, Lenon, and Washington now. What kind of player going deeper and deeper into the draft really would have been that much of an upgrade over them? I'm not seeing it. Sure, a trade for Kirk Morrison might have worked, but it seems the coaching staff isn't intent on replacing Hayes. And to be honest, neither am I.

The most surprising thing about this Cardinals draft is that they didn't take an offensive linemen. They ALWAYS take an offensive line.
