Cards Sign DT Justin Jones

[Garthshort]

No, we aren't drafting a DT high with Stills and these 2 signings. A DE perhaps.

By DE, do you mean an Edge player?

I still would like a draft a tackle early but glad we made some moves to improve this part of the team.

100%. The interior of this defense was so extremely bad last year. I'm very encouraged that we're not going to be discussing a Leki Fotu-Rashard Lawrence competition for starting IDL this year.

Seems like a lot of money to me, but I guess that's the way it is to sign guys on the first day.

Pretty much everything in free agency is an overpay unless the guy has injury issues or a massive down year.

It’s no wonder parents lose their minds at youth sporting events. Life changing money for regular dudes.

Super Bowl champs sign Chris Jones.
Cardinals sign Justin Jones. Seems about right.

Chris Jones and Pat Mahomes on the other side…. We need our guy to be our Pat Mahomes.

Depends on how you feel about the Jordan Phillips contract. We signed Phillips to a 3-year, $30 million contract with $14.5 million guaranteed after an outlier season when he had 9.5 sacks and 20 pressures.



I don't think you need a stud on the DL in this defense. At least not to get where we're planning to go this year. We're gonna have to develop our edge rushers in-house.

What if I don’t care about Jordan Phillips contract?

I vote a DT/EDGE combo with #27 and #35.

We desperately need someone that can get to the QB.

To compete you definitely do, especially without a hint of a pass rush. But, yeah, the question is, are we trying to compete this year, or was it always a 3-year (minimum) plan?

 

[Stout]

I think the concept right now is to fill the defense with capable NFL caliber players. The draft will fill the rest.

Seems to be. My thing is, that lowers DL as a priority for Monti in the draft, which drastically lowers the ability to draft said stud that this defense sorely needs. We have nothing across the front 7 right now but hope as far as getting after the QB with consistency.

Desperately, yes.

The mods have asked me to tell you that you have used up your allotted mentions that the Cardinals need a "stud" pass rusher.

In that case, I'll start calling them Big John pass rushers. Don't @ me, bro!

I would rather go OT or OG with 27 and then go CB or DE

Then that post must've been very confusing to you.

I dunno. You probably need 5-6 IDL going into a season. We have three competent NFL players at that position under contract, plus a few lottery ticket types who will be happy to stick on a roster.

I don't think we're blocked from selecting even two IDL. I think we're much more likely to invest in an Edge player, though.

 

[Stout]

I certainly hope they don’t rule it out. We all witnessed first hand how quickly the front seven can get decimated. Knowing you are a Penn State fan you’ve probably seen him more than others, what are your thoughts on Johnny Newton?

Haven't seen enough of him, but if he can get us inside push, I'd be all for it.

Considering the scarcity of first round DT's it seems these two guys open the possibility for Verse or Turner with that 27 pick...maybe with a small move up

Are you walking around thinking about Jordan Phillips' contract? Who cares?!

What I think about most:

1) The Roman Empire
2) Whether I could land a 747 with help from the control tower
3) If Kyler Murray can dunk a basketball
4) How Steve Keim could have paid Jordan Phillips all that money

I’ve thought about #2 often…. And replace #1 with WWII history…

Does it lower the priority or does it let Monti stay true his draft board and not force need?

Ooooooo.....eerily similar

Turner will probably be gone in the top 10.
