Cardinals trade pick #23 for Hollywood Brown

[HairZach]

First this trade was done to appease Murray. Second if Murray starts making Brown his favorite target, Hopkins may not be a happy camper if he's not getting balls thrown his way enough and third the offense better score 35+ points a game because right now the defense isn't going to be stopping many teams as it stands now.

He's still gonna love throwing to Hopkins to get the first. Brown's gonna be the guy when Kyler decides its time for a 40 yard gain.

Kilff statements are so worthless

I hope Kliff knows him and Kirk are totally different players. If anything you hope Hollywood is what they were hoping Isabella would be.

This was agreed upon a day or two ago.

Why on earth would we move him? Think he will want like $30 mil/yr?

Will depend on his health.

Wasn't Moore supposed to be what they were hoping Isabella was too? Three draft assets now to fill the same roll.

 

[blindseyed]

One thing I am sure of, this has been the weirdest draft day I've ever witnessed, between my mediocre excitement and the lack of explosive exciting players being picked, I'm actually just watching YouTube fails with the TV on mute lol

You have to think outside the box. Bubble screen to Rondale who when throws across another bubble screen to Hollywood!

The Double Bubble

Trade might not have been on the table later. Like someone else speculated, they might have traded down targeting Burks, who was gone two picks later.

If it does not, so be it. I personally am not a big fan of trading 1st round draft picks to players who are due for a new deal, unless they're the best of the best in their positions, like Donald, Ramsey, Garret...

The thing is Rondale was never a deep threat in college. Hollywood was a downfield wr. We never even tried to use Isabella for short passes. Im not sure we've quite solved the Kirk role yet. Either Rondale takes the next step or I'd move Hopkins to the slot.

I never would have thought this out of college, but Kirk seems to have the better top-end speed to me. I think Hollywood will get more YAC, but wont be burning teams out of the slot like Kirk was IMO. Again different guys. Still hoping it works out.

Brown had 10 TDs and 1300 yds at Oklahoma with Kyler at QB in 2018. Averaged 17.7 YDs per catch.

Good trade. Got our number two to complete the offense

Brown is absolutely the perfect fit to pick up where Kirk left off. Scared shitless, 0 ball skills, and questionable hands.

Anyone remember this game?

Ravens: Marquise Brown drops 3 TDs in nightmare first half

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown had a nightmare of a first half dropping three potential long touchdowns in Week 3.

The WR pool was way too deep for Keim in this draft. He had to scrape up the sub-5'10 receiver with bad hands from within the league this time.

Here in Nashville the consensus is the trade is a big win for AZ. Paired with Hopkins, he’ll blow away last year’s numbers. Moving to a pass first team, he’ll spread the field. They can’t double-team him like they did in Baltimore because of Hopkins.

 

[reebokalone2001]

Hollywood Brown and KM played together in college

It’s really hilarious how Steve Keim was a former OLineman but doesn’t use premium picks on trenches.

Maybe that's exactly what he believes, pro-bowl level OLinemen (like himself in his mind) can be found in later rounds.

 

[SoonerLou]

Kyler alienated Isabella and Butler for Hollywood.

Last year Brown was the #1 threat on a run first team with a QB that just isn't great at the deep ball. Now Brown is #2 and he already has great chemistry with our QB. He didn't have drop problems when Kyler was throwing to him. You think he's gonna put up 750 yards? Washed up AJ Green put up 848 yards last year on the outside. He had no real break away speed and it was painfully clear that he wasn't always on the same page as Kyler. Brown is gonna top that easy. Brown can really take the top off a defense and you know Kyler loves to go for the deep shot.

I sincerely hope you’re right. I don’t want to be right, I just don’t like this trade. Although, I didn’t know about the 3rd back until a little while ago.

Hollywood Brown was at the Cardinals draft party so this trade must've been organized way earlier than our pick.

Seems we were never getting Green or Zion.

Linderbaum will be debated for years to come. Yes I know we have Hudson.

Hopefully Brown works out.

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

Hollywood was probably worth a 3rd. Going in to his final contract year, needs to be paid, barely cracked 1k yards one time.. I like bringing him in, but the price is awful

Ok I'll stop the poo pooing after this. However, you have Ravens fans who think Hollywood as a complete WR isn't that much better than Kyler's cousin in Devin Duvernay. He's more of a slot guy but we should see a spike in production since Lamar wont have to force passes to the outside as much. Since he's better throwing over the middle.

Thought at worst we were getting their 2nd round pick back

Good stuff Harry. I love the trade and also having antlers 3rd rounder.

Acutally, he has 2 years left. Barely cracked 1k yards while getting double teamed all year and with a backup qb for 1/2 the year.

 

[Sun Devil Mania]

I tend to agree, but had no way of knowing he would have been there when making the trade.

Then why not wait until the pick to see who was available?

It was a gamble and it seems one that went well for us because pretty much everyone we wanted was gone at our pick.
