He was probably happy walking to the stage because he loves this franchise and our long history of success. Can’t wait to wear Ohio state colors on Sundays.

Can you read between the lines??
I'll show you how valuable that poll is.
Have you ever seen a player come to AZ in the past 5 years...and actually improve? Get better...become a more productive football player??

No??? .
But position coaches got the highest grades in the organization.
.
It's a feelings poll.
Zero value.

Trey McBride improved. Mack Wilson has made two major leaps in his time here.

Whoever the QB is in 2027, they will have some offensive weapons.

Too bad who ever is the RB will have to help block their blindside.

 

[some dumb guy]

So stupid, going to have entire payroll devoted to wilson, mhjr, mcbride, and love

Now this really confuses me. Everyone was/is so pissed we always draft mid players. So, you would rather have mid player to save another nickel?? Is this Michael B.???

lol he will be on his back

 

[PDXChris]

I see some Clinton Portis in him.

i think monti's job is safe as hell if we go 5-12 or even 3-14

i think he's sold mikey on the draft a qb in 2027 plan

Everyone has a plan until the five-game losing streak and the stadium is two-thirds full.

Grade: C+
Love is a special talent at the running back position and will immediately transform the Cardinals rushing attack. This grade isn't an indictment of the caliber of player the Cardinals got, but the value for a team not built to contend without a quarterback. They'll burn the most productive and cheap years for a player at a position with an already short career length.

Just like we did with Otis Anderson.

The old timers know exactly who I’m talking about.

ftfy

He wouldnt have gotten past the Titans. Glad we took him. Hes going to tear it up. Better than Bijon and Gibbs.

If thats the case, we’re all gonna be ecstatic with this pick.

Next year the stadium will be full every game because of our opponents. Bidwill will be quite happy with Monti. Only the Jets game will be a dog for opponent tickets.

 

[some dumb guy]

Well..... Looks like we are trying to be the first overall next year because this is exactly how you accomplish that. Wonder what team we will trade him too (a sure fire SB contender) when we decide he's not worth the new contract number.

No matter who they picked..... this what they are up against.

Was this necessary? Sometimes I just don't understand the hate. Maybe we need Love to make things better...I'll stop now, I believe everyone deserves to share their opinion but on today of all days?

LOssenfort never afraid to use draft picks to replace players who he previously drafted and failed.

 

[Crimson Warrior]

Whoever the QB is in 2027, they will have some offensive weapons.

But we won’t have a defense that can hold a lead, get extra possessions, or even get off the field once in a while.

Offense is pretty.

Defense wins championships.

 

[Chopper0080]

Up to the Cardinals to prove a lot of people wrong about the pick of Love at 3.

 

[HairZach]

I just tuned into the Cardinals press conference with Monti and Mike. Mike LaFleur looks so depressed, my god.

His eyes look almost as sad as Gannon did after the Titans loss. Pictures dont do it justice you have to watch the video.

And immediately signed as free agents! Monti is a loser.

Just like we did with Otis Anderson.

that was kind of a special situation remember Bud Wilkinson was coach when we drafted Ottis. Remember the Wing T and the Ottis and Theotis backfield? That team was going to be bad no matter what because they were so poorly run under Bidwill Sr.

Ottis still had a long career and we weren't bad then because we drafted Ottis. I just looked that was a weak draft too, Winslow was a HOFer taken after Ottis but not much else, hell Erxleben the Kicker was a first round pick!

The video of the draft room looked like ML was happy as hell with the pick of Love

No you’re exactly right Russ but Love is joining a horrifically bad roster just like Ottis and we’re going run the kid into the ground during his first contract just we did Anderson.

If you want to justify the pick by saying he was the BPA I can see that side of it.

But at best he’s going to be the RB version of McBride this past season.

Lots of stats, absorbing A ton big hits, and about three wins to show for it.
