Your Arizona Cardinals now hold the 16th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft

Some people really hate the concept of a blocking TE. I feel it comes from the corporate mindset of not caring about anything that can't easily be quantified. Key blocks don't show up on the stat sheet.

ESPN did it...these days everyone wants a highlight reel or the player suxx. The instant gratification generation also demands they do it NOW!! NOW!!! NOW!!!
or they suck.......

Reiman had 4 penalties called on him against the Vikings. A couple of them were big, even if 1 seemed to be a really bad call. A blocking TE getting that many penalties in a game has to be pretty rare. He has to be smarter than that, even as a rookie.

Also, he is nearly 275 pounds. The guy is not going to be a major receiving option in this passing game. He is an extra O-lineman who can catch the ball occasionally.

Wasn’t it the patriots that turned the NFL upside down with 2 awesome te’s.
Was it Gronk and Hernandez?

It was. If we ever get a great 2nd TE, that may pay off for us.

No but that doesn't mean he's a good receiver. Again I like the kid, but you don't normally spend a 3rd rounder on him. I feel like Monti figured because he had so many picks he wanted to make sure he got Tip and used a 3rd to do so

Was he a fit pick? Did MO feel running two TE sets were going to a prominent part of our offense. How big a role did Rieman contribute to our rather successful running game?

Just a reminder that we traded the pick that was Sam LaPorta away and took OJulari the year before.

So we completely could have had that offense.

Why, why would you remind me of this, you farging bastage?

In my dream world, we would somehow be able to afford the luxury of taking Tyler Warren in the draft. Imagine him on one side and McBride on the other.

Sadly we have painted ourselves into the dline corner.

Based on available FAs, I think we have to go EDGE in the first round, and if we need to trade up to get our guy, so be it.

The kid from Penn State is an absolute beast, but he’ll be long gone.
