This could be our toughest Draft Choice

[SissyBoyFloyd]

What is Reiff and DeCastro are there for us at 13?

How is this a tough choice?

BPA doesnt apply to interior linemen. Ive been harping on this for the past month, and ill drop the list again if need be, in the consensus top 10 guards in the NFL, only 1 is a 1st round pick. 5 are undrafted and 3 are late rounders.


Pro Bowl guards are found in alter rounds. Tackles are not.

I can't wait for the first round to be over, because I'm tired of hearing this question asked 8 ways to Sunday every day (or 8 ways to Thursday, as it were).

I'd rather go with a pass rusher or Floyd than take either. If I were in the drivers' seat, I'd take DeCastro, because I think he's a better prospect than Reiff is. I think the Cards will take Reiff because he's a finished project that they can immediately plug in to the Right Tackle position.

The problem with the Iowa guys is that they don't get better after you draft them. Polished coming in, but there's no upside to them. I'm not sure that Reiff is a better prospect than Brian Bulaga was last year.

Lol, no O-lineman is going to come here and improve with Grimm on the mic. Kalil is pimp but no way he slides, I'm down with straight BPA which looks to be a pass rush unless some teams jump around the room but you never know with this team. A reciever on the other side wouldn't hurt either, that combined with Williams return would make some very nice upgrades on offense but if that talent is there, I got no problem with BPA landing on defense. It's almost over bro.

I don't think this is that tough of ? if Decastro is there you take him, otherwise you try to trade down and pick up Hightower or pick Hightower at 13, its really coming down to that for me. I would be almost dissapointed in any other pick, but that is JMO.

I think our toughest choice would come if Ingram, Floyd, and Reiff are all still on the board.

I think we go with Reiff. We can't just keep ignoring our line every year when every fan knows how bad it is year after year.

Personally, I don't know that Reiff won't be a bust, but if he is the only Olman to fall to us, I don't think we have a choice. I am still hoping for DeCastro.

I could be way wrong, but I just have a bad feeling about Ingram. But what do I know!

 

[JeffGollin]

I doubt it would be a tough choice. It would have been sorted out by now when the Cards stacked their board. They'll just peel off the label of the top guy and send in the card. We don't know who it will be, but the Cardinal brass knows.

I agree 100%

You have to ask yourself why would 12 teams pass on a "premier" OT. Easy...Reiff is not a premier tackle. Why would you draft a OT that "projects" to right tackle?

Colledge and Snyder signed over the last 2 years and we resigned Brown, Batiste, and re-did Sedleins contract. If we were talking about a Joe Thomas type tackle that would be another story.

At 13 you don't take guys with questionable character, motivation,or lack of motor. Don't take a DE that has to move to LB. You don't take a corner that projects to safety. JMHO.

Take a guy that has been productive, intelligent, with good character and a great self starter.

Kuechly,Floyd, and Hightower are 3 players that could ( should) very well be in the starting lineup on opening day. Kuechly will probably be gone.

Hightower would replace Lenon Paris ( thats what DD called him). Floyd would push Doucet and Roberts to #3 and #4 respectively where they really belong.

True to a certain extent. Bias' also come into play.

No the answer is very simple, teams pass in the top 10 because they want bang for the buck. This is a selling game. You have to have that pizzaz factor to put butts in the seats. An OT isn't going to do that. He's a piece of the puzzle. So they fall, DeCastro falls, and he's a premier prospect.

Joe Thomas was the 4th pick the year he was drafted. He was projected a left tackle. No maybe's. No "He was a right tackle but could move to left if asked" stuff. The real deal.
Nobody is right and nobody is wrong until we can all look back a couple of years from now.

Just seems to me a 1st round pick as high as 13 should be a slam dunk and I don't really care at what position. Get the best player.

So you don't take DeMarcus Ware at 13th overall?

I just cannot get pumped up this year about the draft. The only real difference makers I see immediately having an impact are the top two QB's and the Alabama RB. Sometimes lineman take a couple of years to reach their potential. If we were after a DB, WR, QB, RB I could get real excited. I know these lineman are important but here we are facing the loss of a really great lineman in Campbell so how can I get real excited about drafting someone who is not as likely to be as good as him no matter where they play. I really wonder if we have a forward look plan or we just go from year to year?

 

[crisper57]

Mark May says Reiff is the real deal. If he's good enough for Mayday, he's good enough for me. But honestly, I wouldn't mind either pick.

I WANT OL!!!

 

[slanidrac16]

So you don't take DeMarcus Ware at 13th overall?

There are exceptions to the rule but a guy like Reiff is not an exception. As I recall Ware was rocketing up the draft board as it approached. There was no doubt he was going to be a demon as a pass rusher too.
