Welcome to the Cards Sam Acho!

[Big Deal]

Ok where are all the guys on this board who wanted to spend a 2nd on this guy? Great pick. For what it is worth, I think that Williams pick in the 2nd is for the Bengals or Philly. It is the only possible reason I could think that Whiz didn't know about the fumble ratio.

My thought is that the Bengals got their guy in the second, and had a deal in place with the Cards to pick for them.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Very nice! Balancing need and best player available.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm glad posters are more happy with this pick. The tension was becoming unbearable.

McShay says he's a backup.

Future Hall of Famer.

 

[Arizona's Finest]

Love the pick and sounds like he is very smart, has intagibles, production, and went to big school. I thought of DJ the minute the pick went down and would have been cool with him in the 3rd.

So hopefully we have a Champ Bailey type corner
A new runner
A pass catching TE
and Acho

and we haven't even got to our traditional best pick yet in the 5th

I am not as pissed as most. If Williams becomes the starter and Housler becomes the pass catching TE I have wanted for this team for ages, then I am pretty pleased. Housler is also the swing pick for me. I am confident Peterson will be a star and Williams will be worth the pick. If Housler hits we are in the money.

Trade back up and get Quan Sturdivant.

It's funny how 1 draft pick can change everyone's mood .

 

[TJ]

Dig it. Draft is not as bad as people are making it out to be

 

[Pariah]

Hey, hey! That's a helluva pick, and redeems the draft a bit in my eyes.

Look at it like this: a lot of ASFNers were saying we should take Acho in the 2nd. So put him there, Williams in the 3rd and Houser in the 4th. I don't think we'd be bitching nearly as much....

 

[WarnerHOF]

Ken Whisenhunt is a officially a wizard.

 

[Stout]

Isnt the Matthews kid from Oregon still available?

D'oh! I didn't mean to hijack the thread. I thought I was posting this as a separate target. I'll do so now. But no, he would be at best a WILBer. He's just not a thumper that he'd need to be to play SILBer.

Mayock liked him. NFL network stated that we have put together a "nice group of players."

 

[Arizona's Finest]

Me too. Can never have to many.

But we all need to remember that we still have a guy with high 1st round potential on the roster with Schofield coming back completely healthy. Him and Acho at least bring some youth to the position.

Yeah I want a vet OLB like a Wimbley and that will round it out for us IMO.

Rest of the picks are OL and one ILB.

I could see Ricky Stanzi being our 5th rounder too but I am not feeling that.

This is almost exactly how the kool-aider in me in feeling right now.

Even though there is NO WAY Williams made it to the third. No way no how.

That would be a good option too.

 

[WisconsinCard]

He is a steal in the 4th. Acho is a beast.

I wouldn't call him a beast, he tackles like a girl. Needs to get tougher, but it was the BPA IMO.

If he wasn't from Texas, I'd like it better .

WORD!!!!!!

Yup, I'm thinking of it like Peterson 1, Williams 2, Acho 3, Housler 4.. makes things a lot more.. palatable.

There ya go. How bout that Pariah? haha

 

[Seandonic]

Sam Acho=Great pick. I hope OT James Brewer lasts and is taken by the Cards in the 5th.

Biggest mood changer this year will be when (if) we land a QB. That is going to be nuts.

Have to judge it in it's entirety. Hopefully we got a steal with Achooooooooooooooo!!!

 

[Cardiac]

Good news for both the Cards and the fans.

I want a backup NT picked if there is value there. The only "need" not addressed now is O-line and the NT.

 

[Shane]

You must be registered for see images attach

He is actually yelling "Duckjake where are you"

 

[LittleDavis]

Acho has a great mentor in Joey Porter...very pleased with this pick.

Newton was already drafted.
