Rumor of the Day (April 3rd)

[602 Native]

So we drop out of being able to get a stud and cross our fingers we can find a gold nugget instead of fools gold?

How many of you feel comfortable with MO finding a stud and another solid starter in a weak class? Or are we looking more like Dallas gets a pass rush stud and we pick up an okay tackle and a bust? Sound familiar?

Dallas can give us #12 + #20 and next years 1——-for our #3 and #65 or they can suck eggs

MO is the smartest guy in the room.

He will make us great in 2030 or maybe 2040

A very Suggs like situation.

Lossenfort at his finest. A guy who sucks at adding talent and drafting with a team that can't develop drafted players wants more picks.

Yup

 

[Denny Green Fan]

Probably the most likely scenario if the Cardinals trade back is Spencer Fano at 12 and Simpson at 20.

I just texted my 2 brothers the same thing!!!! Then edge at 34

 

[az jam]

Steelers take Simpson

They would have to trade up to get him as they pick #21 and the Cowboys pick is#20.

 

[KiwiCard]

12 and a first next year is more exciting to me than 20. Give us some ammo for a QB

 

[Denny Green Fan]

If the Jets don’t take Reese, the Boys will trade 12 & 20 to the Cards to get him.

I read where bailey is the target

 

[outcent13]

I've seen this scenario play out six or seven times in my draft simulations.

Me too and there is usually nothing good left lol. I guess if they want Simpson(not my guy but if they see him as a system fit then so be it) at 12 and then someone like Miller at 20?

I’d anticipate that

I think you have to go Simpson at 12 if he’s your guy

Miller has the potential to be a real solid starting RT who probably makes a Pro Bowl or two, so I wouldn't say there is nothing left.

Maybe. Simpson is my guy who goes earlier than anticipated or much later.

And we should tell them to pound sand. Stick and pick.

Although, if they do happen to trade down, then I'd be fine with Mauigoa. I can even spell his name by now. I do NOT favor a trade down, but if it happens.

This I agree with. I dont trust MO at all to pick good players. We are just going to end up with more Darious Robinsons.

I think I’d be ok with 12 and 20 but I don’t like that at all. Just stick and take Bailey instead.

 

[Redsz]

Probably the most likely scenario if the Cardinals trade back is Spencer Fano at 12 and Simpson at 20.

The list of successful OT with that arm length is very short.

Guard at 34.
Finish the line. For a couple seasons anyway.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

If the Jets don’t take Reese, the Boys will trade 12 & 20 to the Cards to get him.

I am down if we can trade #20 for a 2027 1st

 

[HairZach]

This I agree with. I dont trust MO at all to pick good players. We are just going to end up with more Darious Robinsons.

I don't think we can abandon the concept of a trade down just because Monti took a bad player last time. There were studs available when Monti chose Darius. That trade down would have been a success if he taken Fiske, Newton, Kool-Aid, DeJean, Lassiter, or even JPJ.

It's certainly possible to take bad players high too. At least with more picks there's more of a chance our backwards scouting lucks into a good player.

 

[Phrazbit]

I seethed when we passed on Will Anderson for PJJ, I still think it was a colossal mistake.

I don't see that caliber of player at #3 this year. If the cowboys want to give us a few firsts for more bites at the apple, fine.

I just hope we don't bite on Simpson. He's a bad pick at 3... at 12... at 20... at 30 something...

No way Jose.

 

[Gandhi]

You won't get the 2027 1st because Dallas isnt moving up for a QB.

Houston didn't move up for at quarterback when they traded from #12 to #3.

Not near enough IMO. They would need to change that to a 2027 #1, for me to even think about this one

 

[Garthshort]

Todd McShay reporting that the Cards are looking to trade back from #3.

Depends on who wants to move. If it's the Cowboys, this trade sucks. If it's the Cardinals who view most of the prospects similarly, then it makes sense.
