Who do we draft now at #8?

[TJ]

If Keim takes a WR in Day 1 or Day 2, it’s a giant indictment on his ability to draft, maybe even more so than his first-round blunders. Imagine drafting three WRs in the draft the previous year, one of which in the 2nd round, trading for a Top-5 WR in the current offseason, and then feeling compelled to take another WR early in the draft. What does that say about Keim and the scouts? What does that say about Kyler? If Kyler is to be the transcendent player that he was hyped to be, he shouldn’t need a WR room full of high-priced, highly drafted players.

I sense this is the direction that the team is going, but once again, it’s Keim chasing bad bets and potentially the tail wagging the dog

Lamb still in play according to Benjamin Allbright. Albright also mentioned that Wills is rumored to have learning issues. The latest rumors circulating on twitter say that the Cardinals are looking at Simmons, Brown, Wirfs and Lamb if they stay at 8.

The source is mentioned - Benjamin Allbright. He's semi-reliable.

the draft is a giant crap shoot.

a guy will list 5 guys he likes going into the draft well guess what, 3 of those guys are probably going to suck

Yeah not sure if he's reliable or not which is why I opted to just go with rumors instead of quoting a specific source.

The first two sentences are from Allbright and the third are just rumors circulating on twitter from a couple of people.

I really do not care who the hell we select as long as it's not one of those potential 'selections'. I like Becton but it also has the Al Davis approach of physical attributes overriding the play of the other OTs. I do not think Simmons is just a physical freak because his actual play is strong... then you have a guy like Jeudy who is not a specimen athletically but still has pro physical traits while still having superb technique

When in doubt forget about the combine. Why did Andrew Thomas drop?

Luck was destroyed but was great and singlehandledly brougth the Colts in the AFC Championship
Newton was destroyed but was even a league MVP, lost the SB and went another time to the NFC Championship
Goff was in the SB lost isn't great but servicable
Bradford was destroyed before he could do anything
Winston overdrafted
Mayfield and Murray to early to judge

If you ask me, that isn't that bad compared to the other bad QB out there.

fwiw:

this year's OT class reminds me of the 2017 draft for CBs

Marshon Lattimore
Marlon Humphrey
Tradavious White
Adoree Jackson


depending on who you read, the pre draft ranking of the four varied -- some had Lattimore the best, others Humphrey, others White. Jackson was never #1, but sometimes the #2 guy in the group.

three years later:

the last guy taken -- Tradavious White might be the best one. the first -- Lattimore -- is the best if it isn't White. Humphrey is a good player, while Jackson is..... ok.

my totally speculative guess is that the four OTs are similar

Did not see that coming. Wow. A lot less likely we go OT at 8, I've gotta think.

This is a smart gamble but also tips our hat to taking a defensive guy or a WR. I am not going to fault this team if they take a WR, because drafting Fitzgerald when we had Boldin turned out to our advantage but I do want a guard with our second pick because that's a good place to take one of the better interior guys

the phrase "up to" does a lot work here for Drew Rosenhaus

this is setting the team up to be able to draft a Simmons, Okudah, etc if they drop and know you aren't one injury in camp from Brett Toth starting at tackle

White & Humphrey are the top 3 CBs in the league.
Lattimore is also great & awesome when he’s on, though a little inconsistent.


Like you said about Adoree, he’s just okay.

How can two guys be the top three... just kidding with you, I get your point lol

 

[Minski]

With that I now think the draft will be either Simmons, Okudah if they fall, if not Lamb will be the guy either in a slight trade down or just sticking at 8

Agreed, I would add D. Brown also if he were there. Love to have that guy. If you have a chance to snag a real blue chip player, you should.

 

[Buckybird]

I still say it’s very possible Keim trades up for Simmons. I’ve been saying it since the combine. Trade partners very well could be the Gmen or Bolts

 

[GuernseyCard]

I still say it’s very possible Keim trades up for Simmons, especially if he’s there at #5. I’ve been saying it since the combine.

How?

We don't have a 2nd round pick to make it in anyway acceptable.

 

[GatorAZ]

I have a feeling Keim has settled on Brown if he’s there assuming Simmons is gone... If he can upgrade four positions in our front-7 you have to give him props.

Futures or player. If you want something bad enough it can be done.

The #1 Achilles heal of the defense last year & a problem since DWeed flew to marijuana heaven.

Not saying it’s gonna happen, but I wouldn’t be shocked if it did. Steve Keim has to start winning football games, this year!!! His future with Big Red depends on it & he knows it.
