Your Gut: What's it Say This Morn?

[Pariah]

My gut is saying Donald Brown.

...but I'm still hoping for Larry English.

 

[Shane]

My gut says Larry English and hopes we go nowhere near Donald Brown.

 

[az jam]

Its Larry English and Boldin will not be traded.

 

[Cardiac]

Pash rusher in Rd1. English will be gone before our pick, just our luck.
Q won't get traded. Mixed feelings about this. Skorp's view on this is right on and the drama will continue.
I like Stout's thoughts we will use some of our later Rd draft picks to move up in Rd's 2 and 3.
Patriots will move around A LOT in this draft. They always do.
Rod Graves will be called an idiot numerous times on this board.

 

[Stout]

My gut is saying Donald Brown.

...but I'm still hoping for Larry English.

I'm with you 100 percent, although I really like Brown too. Give me English in the 1st and Jennings in the 2nd.

 

[binkar]

My gut has told me that Q was gone for months but I had a change of gut this morning and think he stays.

My gut tells me we will take someone that slides further than expected, but my mind says English or Brown.

...but I'm still hoping for Larry English.

ditto that

 

[Mitch]

My gut says both Brown and English will be off the board and the Cardinals indeed go with Connor Barwin...or they get superstitious thinking that last year they drafted a player with one kidney, DRC, and made it to their first Super Bowl, so go for it again and draft another player with one kidney, Paul Kruger, DE/OLB, Utah.

My gut is also telling me Aaron Maybin, Brian Orakpo or Everette Brown if one of them slides.

My gut on Q...he will not be traded.

 

[AsUdUdE]

My Gut says Donald Brown...

My Gut says Q will NOT be traded today

My Gut says we will "settle" for the best OLB/DE with our 2nd round pick and unless it's Sidberry, not very many of us will be excited about it....

all and all, I have mixed feelings about today...

 

[azsouthendzone]

My gut says don't draft a running back in the first round and it also says if we can deal Boldin to land Ray Maualuga we should or we will regret it forever.

+1

And has been for about 3 weeks.

Mark this down. English will be gone a lot sooner then people think. Like the teens maybe.

My dream realistic draft if we do end up trading with the Ravens we get Malaluga and Wells at #31.

But my gut tells me we won't trade Q.....but WILL trade up in the 1st.

 

[Arizona's Finest]

My gut says don't draft a running back in the first round and it also says if we can deal Boldin to land Ray Maualuga we should or we will regret it forever.

Yup. Or Moreno.

 

[bg7brd]

I've always thought it would be Larry English but my gut is telling me that Beanie Wells is going to fall to 31.

right on:notworthy

 

[Jetstream Green]

my gut tells me one of the highly regarded picks will slide to us like Moreno...I feel one of those unlikely events for the Cardinals because by slide I mean someone like Moreno slides to the 20s and the Cardinals...yes the Cardinals...will trade picks to move up and then pick Moreno

Q...he is not going anywhere and will stay a Cardinal, on draft day, after draft day, for the season and this team DOES find a way to extend his contract through all the mess

 

[Crazy Canuck]

My gut says that at the end of the process we will have selected a RB, a DE/OLB, a Centre/guard and a KR...

I will be quite content...

(And of course, Graves will be called a feckless idiot by some of our resident draft gurus)

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

My gut says Larry English and hopes we go nowhere near Donald Brown.

i agree with that. BUt the little man inside keeps telling me Michael Johnson.

 

[MadCardDisease]

Really I have no idea who the Cards take this year. That is a first!

So I'm just going to stick with Alex Mack as the safe pick.

 

[Jetstream Green]

Moreno....Moreno...he will slide and....LOL

 

[azsouthendzone]

I don't get the Moreno obsession. Looks too small. Donald Brown looks awful. I think we should trade Boldin to Baltimore for their first if Malauga is there, and then draft either English or Wells at 31.

 

[Jetstream Green]

I myself understand the Moreno obsession...Looks small...key word is 'looks' small but hardly plays small and Donald Brown is hardly awful. I would not be surprised if the Cards went defense for a pass rush but something tells me that the RB position as a whole will slide and the Cardinals will jump all over Moreno...just a thought, but you could be right azsouthendzone but the question I'm asing myself is that we have a great short yardage back in Hightower and without Edge (a very possible cut) is Wright as good as Moreno, Donald Brown or even LeSean McCoy, Shonn Greene, Cedric Peerman, Gartell Johnson or ANDRE BROWN...hmmm

 

[Totally_Red]

My gut says probably Donald Brown in the first. My heart says Alex Mack. But I'll be OK with Brown, Mack, or Larry English.

Also, don't expect much trading by the Cardinals, but would love it if they dealt their very late 2nd rounder for a high third and a fifth or sixth as the day wound down.

 

[overseascardfan]

ditto that

This is the crux of the matter, how Tim Hightower is veiwed by the Cardinals.

You put forth the prevailing opinion on this board about TH's status when you said we have a great short yardage back in Hightower.

I just don't believe the Cardinals see it that way. I think they believe that TH can be an everydown back in this league. They believe he has the size, toughness, and adequate speed to carry the load. He had a good year considering he was taking a huge jump in competetion and was just learning as a rookie.

I think since Whiz has been here he's shown how he views the running back position. Many on this board were sure we would take a running back with our first pick last year and select Rashard Mendenall. Whiz went defense with DRC and didn't take a back until TH in the 5th. Outrage ensued.

I think he subscibes to the "Parcells" theory that you can get a back in later rounds and and running backs give poor value in the first round because of a short shelf life.

With that being said I think we will go for a guy who can get to the passer with our first pick. Who will be there and how the Cardinals have them ranked is anyones guess.

Of course I could be wrong.

...but I'm still hoping for Larry English.

I think we are having the same idea.

My hope is English or Maualuga fall. Brown is a very nice alternative though.
