Who Starts Week 1 at Wide Receiver?

[SoonerLou]

Everything out of Cardinals media suggest the organization doesnt think WR is a premium position to win in the NFL.

And they feel like Drew Petzings offense doesnt need a star WR.

If we trade down its very possible Michael Wilson and a rookie like Ricky Pearsall or Xavier Legette (2nd or 3rd round) will be our wrs.

BTJ wont be there late in round 1 and I worry Mitchell wont be a Monti kind of guy. Some scouts think he takes plays off.

When you say “Cardinals media” do you really mean Johnny Venerables & Bo Brack

 

[MadCardDisease]

I went with MHJ and Wilson

same

Darren Urban/Calvisi as well

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I can be sold on any of the top 5 WRs in round 1 but failing to secure one of them would be an epic fail. The more mocks I do, the less I like the trade down.

 

[DVontel]

Darren Urban/Calvisi as well

I don’t get that vibe from Urban at all. Where have you seen that from?

 

[Cheesebeef]

Darren Urban/Calvisi as well

The guys on state media on 98.7 have been pretty unsubtle with their shift in questioning most things MHJ and slobbering over Odunze and warming up to Nabers as well.

I don't get it from Urban, either. I do get it from Calvisi and Dani Sureck, though. I don't think that Darren Urban cares much about the draft. I haven't listened to Big Red Rage in a few weeks; I don't know what Wolfley is saying, either.

They are really hyping the trade down.

As long as it’s not lower than 6

Yep at worst. I mean they have 8 picks in the top 138 there will be plenty of rookies on this team. Any trade down at most you are talking 1 more pick this year and some future stuff just based on roster construction. 53 active players

These guys are probably good in their jobs so that is 34.

QBs (2) Murray, Riddler
RBs (3) Conner, Carter, Dallas
WRs (3) Wilson, Dortch, Moore
OL (7) Williams, Wilkinson, Froholdt, Brown, Hernandez, Johnson, Beachum
TE (1) McBride
DL ( 4 ) Bilal, Tonga, Jones, Collier,
LB (6) Collins, Ojulari, White, Wilson, Gardack, Dimukeje
DBs (5) Murphy Bunting, Thomas, Clark, Baker, Thompson
Special (3) Gillikin, Brewer, Prater

8 picks in the first 4 rounds so now we are at 42

That leaves just 11 spots to fill with 3 more draft picks after round 4 plus a whole list of guys on the bubble.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

19 spots up for grabs I am guessing the breakdown is this:

QB: (0) Practice Squad
RBs: (2)
WRs (3)
OL (3 or 4)
TE (2)
DL (3)
LB (2)
DB (3 or 4)

Which is ridiculous. Odunze and Nabers had the 2 Heisman finalists throwing them the ball and other WR weapons to prevent being doubled. Harrison, also a Heisman finalist and Biletnikof winner, had 1st year scrub Kyle McCord throwing him the ball and was doubled more than any other receiver in college football.

To me, that's the equivalent of Larry Fitzgerald winning league MVP with John Skelton as his QB and a WR group consisting of himself, Andy Isabella, and Rondale Moore.

We got some Maurice Clarrett syndrome going on around here. Doesn’t matter who was throwing who the ball if they were wearing an Ohio State uni you’d be pimping them….. We’ve seen it time and time again.

Clark

I’m baffled that people think a guy who was benched for the entirety of the back half of the season should be secure in his job.

Guys picked after the fourth round don’t have any job security on good teams.

What if he switches to WR?

 

[cardncubfan]

What if he switches to WR?

He'd be our #2.

I'd add Garrett Williams at DB... maybe instead of Clark?

If Monti is this stupid, he won't be here long. Or, I should say, he'll first get a massive and unnecessary extension, then won't be here long.

 

[kerouac9]

What if he switches to WR?

66% of the snaps or more. Immediately ahead of Greg Dortch.

I thought about not including him but compared to what else is on the roster it seems like he sticks.

I fully think they are drafting 3-4 DBs.
