The #AZCardinals reportedly brought in QB Daniel Jones for a visit, per @Gambo987:

The whole world is convinced we are taking Murray first overall but then we actually take Daniel Jones first overall, just imagine the reaction from everyone.

Great point on Boykin. He wasn't running by anyone but he seems to have great hands and reminds me of Boldin. Not sure how he fits into KK's offense.

On the opposite end of the spectrum you have Issac Nauta. He looked much more athletic/fast on tape but HORRIBLE combine results.

Again, not sure how a combination TE fits into KK's offense. Pure pass catching mid round TE - Caleb Wilson. I am sure Rosen would like that too.

Boykin is a great example of how a WR with a certain profile can be rated highly by a team who doesn't have a WR with that profile - & how that same WR can be rated lower by a team with an overabundance of those types of guys.

Bringing Daniel Jones in seems to be a waste of time unless Cards believe they may be trading down. I could see them drafting him with a late 1st or early 2nd round pick. I believe if they don't trade down they wouldn't use their 2nd round pick to draft him. It seems it might send a message to teams that might be interested in Murray that we're not drafting him.

The ongoing joke was that the Bidwills relied heavily on Street & Smith* for their scouting info.

*Street & Smith was a much-read football magazine back in the day.

That was my football bible back in the days.

Oh yeah.Of course there weren`t a lot of other choices besides the local newspaper which might have a article or two if some area players could be drafted.

Bound together web pages, like an actual object? Weird.

In Northeastern Pa the coverage was either the Eagles or the Nittany Lions. No other teams existed as far as the papers were concerned. Getting the Sporting News every Thursday in the mail was a big deal.

I remember when my uncle used to buy me the Blue Chip Basketball recruiting magazine each year. It cost $50. I need to thank him

I have a friend who lives in Scranton/Jessup. They still don’t know that college football exists outside of Penn State

I know exactly where you are talking about and what you say is true, it's damn true!

Did you know when they talk about DC up there they are not talking about Washington DC, they are talking about Dickson City.

Boldin was a dog even at FSU. I dont see a ton of dog in Boykin.

Fans always seem to fall in love with big receivers, but most of those guys fail. Look at how they move laterally more than anything else and then you start to see the real prospects.

When i was a kid the main games on TV here in Kentucky where the Cleveland Browns for the NFL and the old AFL games.Only time got to see the Cards was when they played the Browns on TV.Sometimes could pickup the games on radio.Local papers covered University of Kentucky and University of Louisville.During the early to Mid 60`s The Cards and Browns both had players from both schools so there would be a article on two more about the game.

Street & Smith originally wasn't a draft mag - it was mainly a college football preview publication.

From a draft standpoint, my key sources were The Jerry Jones Drugstore List*, Kiper, The late Joel Buchsbaum, PFW, Palmer Hughes and a pile of photocopied league-related pages distributed by David Te Thomas.

Nowawdays, my local pizza place is likely to have published a mock draft

loved listening to Joel Buschbaum.That guy knew info about nearly every college player who had any chance of even being in a NFL camp.;z very rarely heard him stumped when someone asked about a player.Shame he died so young.I remember Dave Te Thomas,PFW,Drugstore list,Kiper.I recently decided to subscribe to OURLADS .I subscribed for a few years about 10 years ago but stopped.Decided to check them out again.Now there is so much INFO floating on the internet you can easily find draft info FWIW.i decided to try OURLADS again to see what a actual former NFL scout says concerning prospects.

I forgot about Ourlads ( the Heplers out of southern NJ). I used to attend their annual fans mock draft and ran a draft contest with them for a Trenton daily. Their mocks were based on what they felt a team SHOULD do (vs. what they felt the team WOULD do).

Hey don't be picking on us old guys, our minds tend to wander sometimes and then we go into reminisce mode.

Have you heard of San Ubaldo day?

 

[cardpa]

Have you heard of San Ubaldo day?

OMG yes, I remember that. The race of the saints and San Ubaldo always wins.
