what position do you WANT us to draft in round 1

[BigRedRage]

So, wondering if I am alone. There is a lot of talk about WRs and OTs in the draft.

At this time, we have 2 starting tackles and Murray who was decent as a tackle waiting in the wings.

So really, this year, WR and T both seem okay for a year or two and I feel like I would be the most excited for defense like young, simmons, brown or kinlaw more than anyone else.

So, a poll. Of the available top 15 players, which position do you hope we take in the draft? Not what you think we would do, what you would prefer in a perfect world with realistic expectations of who is available.

 

[Dr. Jones]

The position of probable pro-bowler with ALL-PRO level talent player. That's all I care about.

 

[kerouac9]

Yeah, with the first-round pick, it should be the best non-QB, non-RB player regardless of position. That should be a core player within a year.

Agreed. Which position do you think that is?

 

[Zeno]

I don't care about position--I want the best player, don't care where he plays (aside from QB of course).

 

[juza76]

Position? playmaker= different maker

Certainly not a 330 lb dt who plays the 50/60% of the snaps, more specifically...
I don't want us to draft Derrick Brown, being no quick off the ball doesn't translate well in the Pro
Lack of production + unathletic= 70-100% of being a bust

A guy like Simmons can change the defense if used in the right way

 

[juza76]

I mean do u remember Jarvis Jones, sack Master, but slow and it didn't translate

 

[DVontel]

if used in the right way

Scary thought.

 

[Southpaw]

L/R T O line. Rest can be taken care of later rounds.

I dont imagine simmons makes it to us. it might be DT, QB, WR and OL blue chips at #8

I can see Simmons falling a tad below 8-10. Maybe closer to 15. Man without a true position and many rooks will be in a redshirt season if camps do not start on time.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Agreed. Which position do you think that is?

Simmons, Okudah, Young, Lamb, Jeudy, Wills. MAYBE Brown but thats a 15 to 20% chance at that point

Positions are too vague IMO

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I watched the Cardinals wins against Seattle and the Browns last night. Murray should have been murdered multiple times during the game and got out of it somehow.

Deep routes simply didn't have time to develop last year or the skilled receivers to develop them.

Beyond that we couldn't cover over the middle or out of the flat to save our lives.

So for me it's only two defenders first

Okudah
Simmons
Oline
Lamb

 

[Dr. Jones]

Single biggest positional upgrades this team can make are: WILB & OL

I agree 100% Chris. Kyler is a great deep ball passer. We need to give him time.

OR.... We need to stop the effing TE in coverage! Or.... how about just contain him a bit?

Everything else could be considered secondary right now.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Wr would be nice

But i went with tackle need to give Murray time to find wr and not be sacked 40 plus lol...

Looking forward to draft miss anything sports...

 

[Solar7]

I chose tackle because I think breaking things down by position, the OL has the best marriage of need and talent in the draft for us.

However, I do really like Brown and Simmons, and see them as elite enough to consider ignoring that weakness, while solving other major problems for us.

I don't think I'll have to worry about Okudah being there, but in the case he is, I can accept grabbing someone of his caliber. But as I've made clear, I'll be pissed if we take a WR barring some kind of trade down that nets us both a WR and significant upgrades on the OL somehow. (Like, get Lamb and then Becton drops to the third round because of the drug issue.)

 

[Rohinaz]

I want a pass rusher, Chaisson.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Simmons or Okudah. I think 1 of them will be there.

 

[MadCardDisease]

I want an impact player.

I think Lamb will be an instant impact player. Drafting Lamb will setup the WR room for Kyler for at least the next 5 years. Lamb is familiar with the system and offensive verbiage. He already has a working relationship with Murray. In a strange year with so many unknowns due to Covid-19, with questions about when Training Camp will start(if there will even be a training camp), drafting Lamb eliminates most of the worries about that. lamb is the Only WR I would take at that spot.

He is the player who I want the Cardinals to draft. So I put WR as my choice.

 

[Shane]

if one is it will be Simmons. Okudah isn’t happening.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

if one is it will be Simmons. Okudah isn’t happening.

Saw a very realistic mock on NFLN today where they had the cards taking Okudah.

 

[kerouac9]

Agreed. Which position do you think that is?

This is a weird way to ask the question.

I do agree with Keim at the most impactful positions to draft are QB, EDGE, CB, LT — and probably in that order. I think if one of those guys isn't available (Young, Okudah, Andrew Thomas), they trade out.

no no, Murray was well above decent according to PFF. he was our best Olineman across the back half of the season.

for the first time in forever we dont need Oline (thank you Coach Kugler). Im 50/50 between receiver and front 7 defense

 

[sinsay]

Hard to say.

If they go CB they have their secondary of the future.

If they go OL they will have two young tackles both with great upside.

If they go DL they will plug one of the biggest needs on the D.

If the go WR they will have one of the best WR rooms in the NFL if not the best.

If they go ILB they will fix a major hole on D from last season as well as add depth.

I think if they go BPA they will fix a need either way.

My choice is Simmons.
