Rumor has it Dallas wants to keep 20 because they don't have a 2nd round pick.
What would
The point is to gather ammo so the team has room to maneuver in the 2027 draft in case there happens to be a QB they want.
I think it’s a risk percentage situation. Could he be a truly impact player? Yes, but he’s not a sure thing. So it comes down to a roll of the dice. Do you take the risk or settle for a more likely outcome? I think the Cards are not in position to gamble.
He definitely can be. He has a higher ceiling than any other defensive player. I'd be ok with that gamble. I would rather try for great than safe any day.
They’ll still be massively outgunned by the Jets and others.
The Saints were a bad team that tried to win every game in a bad division and are picking 8th. It's a myth that you have to make moves to put your team at a disadvantage to lose games. The Cardinals can likely do everything they can to win games and still end up in the top 10 because the roster and QB position are so bad. Trying to game the system just makes the hole you have to climb out of deeper.
Yep. The Cardinals have had extremely few winning seasons in Arizona since 88.
Don’t see it elsewhere. Apologize if I missed it. The recheck showed no increased damage, which essentially means the concerns are minor and most teams would not red flag him.
Right...but picking 12th and 20th,...instead of picking 3rd and 34th...isnt really going to make any difference in the quality of players that we get,...in this specific draft.
You may be right but going back for a recheck can never be a good thing. That means there was a concern in the 1st place.
Yeah, I'm keeping our 2nd round pick or no trade.
12 and 20 for our 3 is a big no deal. Throwing in our 2nd round pick would just be moronic, value chart or no value chart.
Yeah... according to the Drafttek draft trade value chart, #3 = 2200 points, #12 = 1200, and #20 = 850... leaving the Cowboys 150 points short in a swap of each team's first round picks. (That equates to pick #88 this year, or perhaps a 2027 2nd?; Dallas has #92 = 132 points.)
the stated trade, was throw in our second,...but get dallas first round pick in 2027 as well
Now I'm on board.
I agree but the picks this year are undervalued, so the Cards might have add if they’re targeting Simpson. Otherwise I wouldn’t consider it.
There are so many arguments being made that are facially poor on this topic. The best one I’ve read regards the contract of a third pick and running backs. It’s a legit argument.
This comment is overbroad. Some do and some some don’t.
So your argument is the bengals failed due to Chase? Man, your arguments on this topic are pretty substandard for you, krang. You’re too bought into your position and it’s causing you to make poor arguments.Lions didn't fail due to their OL
Except he’s not when he makes a blanket statement that can be immediately debunked like scouting services don’t view love as a blue chipper.See, I can respect this post. You're clearly stating your opinion. Earlier in this thread you started pontificating as if your opinion were fact. That's where the trouble began. We disagree on a fundamental level, but that's cool. At least you aren't advocating for Simpson at #3
I’m shocked you’re interested in the looks like Tarzan plays like Jane styles.
Joe Thomas definitely screamed spectacularThis was said about Rashawn Slater too man and Tristan Wirfs. I guess you just can't see that this is often said about a lot of tackles that even turn into All Pros. I won't repeat this again, you either look up what I'm saying and learn or you don't.

I'm not thrilled with pretty much every player other than Bailey or Mendoza. I'd rather take a good tackle than a good RB.
But this is where you're losing me...Love ISN'T head and shoulders better than Mauigoa. He just isn't, none of the scouting sites or scouts I'm hearing are really saying this other than fan boys who fall in love with flash over substance.
It's not exciting to take a OT. Ten years ago I would have bristled at the idea, but after watching the Cardinals take the WR (go back and look, you'll see I tossed around the idea of taking Alt over Harrison), I've learned that substance can trump style.
LOL Joe Thomas. Hell, Lane Johnson. No tackle ever screams spectacular.
Yeah definitely disagree. He'd be pick #15 in a regular draft, around the same spot Mauigoa would go
He's not in that tier. He's the next tier down.
No he screams done by the end of first contract just like most other RBs.
Actually no. The OL is that bad that it desperately needs a talent infusion.
Mauigoa has the pedigree, the college performance, and the workout numbers to justify his draft position.
Yeowtch
Thank you for posting that. That’s a guy with legit cred imo. Good read on mauigoa. Equally good read on love:
Right Tackle Francis Mauigoa Shows he has What it Takes
Watch 16 games of University of Miami right tackle Francis Mauigoa during the 2025 season embedded in this article.firstroundmock.com
This is an interesting eval of Mauigoa from a former Jets scout during the Parcells era. Addresses the guard concerns, but ultimately believes he will be a effective OT in the NFL. That said, this evaluator thinks Love is a HOF lock.
I've started reading this guy because he was the only one I've found that nailed the MHJ eval pre-draft
