Waiver Wire Pickups After Final Cuts By Position

[Garthshort]

These are my guesses as to which position we will target after we get down to 53. Of course our actual additions will be influenced by any surprise cuts by other teams, even if we don't have a need at the position, with SK saying the guy was too good to pass up. Here's my take (in no particular order):

CB-Two guys
ILB-One
OL-One
DL-One
TE-One? (Not sure about this one)

Does anyone else have an opinion?

CB 2 guys
OL - 1 or 2 tackles depending on quality. 1 G if a good one is available
ILB - 0 unless higher quality is available
DL - We need DE's not DT's - probably 1
TE - 0
I am hoping for a RB I don't think Foster or Logan are very good, and should be replaced if something better is available - but I think they will only carry 3 RB's.

If you think that fully 10 percent of our final roster (6 of 53) should/could be made up of other teams' garbage, then Keim should be fired tomorrow.

 

[Solar7]

I'm with K9. Barring something completely shocking, this team should only pick up maybe one or two guys. And even then, I'm not enthused about it. But we're in trouble at CB and DT/DE for various reasons.

He needs to go so cause few days a go he stated that 6 spots are still open to competition and for those spots they will look at waiver line

 

[juza76]

To be honest
Other team garbage especially about the offensive line is better then what we have


I can see us taking by cuts
1 offensive lineman
1 de/dt
1cb
1 Ilb

Well, we could say too that he thinks 4 and the 2cb addition is due to PEDs and a broken leg which arent on Keim.

Personally I expect us to watch DL and OL. The rest of the time is where it is.

 

[oaken1]

Raiders and Dallas both have good olines and may be cutting some decent young guys just due to having too many....I would watch those teams.

There are 31 other teams all cutting down to 53. Of course there are going to be players superior to our own roster, because teams have different talent levels at different positions.

Historically teams with the #1 waiver claim do pick up around 5 players, and that is about what I expect. Heck most years the cards pick up 2 to 3 when they are much lower in the claim order.

The one fly in the ointment is those vets who get cut and have enough years don't have to clear waivers, they become free agent so they can sign on with any team of their choosing. It could very well end up if there are two or three of them that could actually help the team they may not see AZ as a good place to land.

 

[Chopper0080]

Positions where I think we could potentially make moves...

TE (lots of options that would be an improvement in blocking)
OT
DE
ILB
CB (only due to injury to Alford and suspension of Peterson)
S (w/size)

 

[PJ1]

I would add RB to the list. We are thin there also. Should be some decent backs cut.

I disagree. Wes Hills is there if we want a bigger back. TJ Logan plays on special teams. There is not going to be a better runner released than Chase Edmunds. DJ Foster is on the roster. I will be interested to see who the Cardinals would think is better if cut.

Other teams garbage could be them heavy at a position that’s better than our weakest 3rd stringer nothing wrong with that.

There’s 32 teams in the league finding 4-6 guys better than our worst isn’t some blasphemous thing to do.

I actually don't think there's that much difference; most of the time you're just churning the roster and replacing someone you know is bad with someone who might not be quite as bad. If you're looking to plug roster holes in September because they guys you've coached up for two months aren't worth investing in for another moment? That's bad.

TE
OT
DE
ILB
CB
S (w/size)

I'd be surprised on TE and S from this list. We just traded a safety; hard to see why we'd pick up another one when there's so much youth there already.

Not a big Edmonds fan and after him the rest are just guys in my opinion. One of Foster or Logan as a third down back is ok and Hills didn't get a touch in the last game.

 

[Carolinacacti]

I want a ILB with speed. Wait that's Reddit. Wait still want another one. WR no, QB no, TE no, OLB no, Safeties no everyone else yes.

Edmond is another example of Keim over drafting small school guy
Not good enough

yeah I think the bottom 2-3 guys on the 53 man roster are expendable special teamers for the most part and are susceptible to roster churn. However if you are replacing more than 2-3 players this late in the game it's not a good sign for this upcoming season.

Get rid of JAGS to add JAGS? Maybe. But if TJ Logan is going to be a returner that adds more value than some random of the wire. Maybe you are right about Foster though he is a cheap vet who knows the system. There is value in that for a young QB.

I could see a world where the Cards want a better blocking option at TE than what they have seen from Williams, Clay and RSJ.

 

[Garthshort]

K9, I READ, but don't know where, that in the past five or so years, the team with the first WW pick have taken 4-7 players. Seems logical to me.

OL, DL, ILB & CB are the only positions they should be going after imo.

 

[Chopper0080]

I doubt they are going to add an interior offensive lineman.

Humphries
Gilbert
Sweezy
Pugh
Shipley
Cole

are locks...that makes six.

Add Galliard and you have 5 interior offensive linemen. You adding more.

Cunningham makes 8, and while he is probably upgradable, I have a tough time seeing the Cardinals getting rid of their primary OT backup for someone who has zero snaps with the team.

That means if anything, they would add a LT which would mean they are going to carry 9 offensive linemen.

So, 3-4 DE, LT, ILB, & CB. I would add TE if they didn't like the blocking in the preseason, but some disagree.

 

[DVontel]

I’d much rather see the young players on this team get as much burn as possible than to sign some washed up dude off cut lists.
