This is a weird year. With no combines and a confusing array of Pro Days things are likely to change before the draft. A guy like Darby might move up significantly. However, if the draft were tomorrow, these would be my targets.

Round 1
Patrick Surtain, CB, AL/Caleb Farley, CB, VT
Kadarius Toney, FL, WR
Christian Darrisaw, OL, VT

Round 2
Walker Little, OT, Stan
Rondale Moore, WR, Purd
Greg Newsome, CB, NW

Round 3
Alim McNeill, NCST, DT
Spencer Brown, RT, UNI
Quincy Roche, Edge, Mia

Round 5
Simi Fehoko, WR, Stan
Khyiris Tonga, DT, BYU
Frank Darby, WR, AZSt

Round 7
Gerard Doaks, RB, Cinn
Blake Proehl, WR, ECU
Jack Anderson, OG, TTech

Rondale Moore was electrifying as a freshman. Then got hurt as sophomore. And didn't want to play last year. The third round is when you roll the dice and see what you get. That is where Moore should go.

I'm with you on every 1st rounder, but I question whether Darrisaw can line up against speed rushers. His feet are a tad slow.

Several scouts love him. I wouldn't be totally shocked if he went in round 1. It’s not about merit but talent.

Hopefully the kid has Dad's hands.


Yeah I honestly had never heard of him. I saw the name in Harry's post, googled it and before I even typed his full name it said Blake Proehl is Ricky's son. Ricky is the WR coach for the Carolina Panthers. I did find an article that says Blake is 2 inches taller than Ricky was and runs a faster 40. AS you said what made Ricky so good was his hands, but he also had that quickness in a phonebox thing where he could just change directions without slowing down.

Blake had 4 TD catches each of the last 2 years, no idea how good East Carolina is but I'd be tempted to take a late round flyer on that kid just because he's the son of an ex NFL guy and the son of an NFL WR coach. You certainly wouldn't expect the issues with him we've seen with young WR's before about lining up wrong, not running routes etc.

If the Cardinals could just land:

That would be my dream draft!

He is, but he is not just a third down possession receiver. However, I must plead guilty about being drawn to a legacy player. He was the dominant receiver on a mid-major team. He’s far more than just a familiar face. He may well not last this long.

Yeah I googled him had no clue about him. Says he's bigger and faster than dad was

Also, as a freshman in his very first college practice he tore an ACL and missed the season. Said he was having such a good practice the coaches were thinking this kid is going to play right away we really lucked out getting him at E Carolina and then his knee buckled on a non contact play and he missed the year.

Replace McNeil with Meinerz and I am ok with it.

I like those 3 and would be great for our needs. But there are lots of subs to make something very similar work.
1. Surtain/Farley, consolation = Horn, Samuel, Campbell, or Newsome
2. Moore, consolation = Toney-FL, Eskridge-WMich, or Smith-SC
3. Smith, Meinerz, Hainsey, Banks & lots of OTs that will be playing OG

We need to build a dynamic offense. When Kyler hits free agency we will need a core of younger players surrounding him.

So what do we have/need to do this? I think I’d rather have experience on the o-line now rather than hope we draft a player that would be forced to “ step in”. I would go after a guard or a center in free agency.

At rb we have Edmonds and big question marks. We will need to either draft a rb in the first or second round or sign a veteran. If Benjamin or Ward is not a real answer then we have to pick up a veteran like Murray or Ingram to fill the void.

We need a true #2 Wr. Samuel seems to be an ideal fit as long as he can play outside which appears he can do both outside and the slot. I’d like to think we could draft one but I think our first pick will be a cb.

So much depends on how we handle the free agents. I’m not giving PP21 14/15m a year. Reddick scares me a little because those contract year performances can be deceiving. By cutting Alford and redo Jones we will free up some cap space.

So, o-line, rb, #2 Wr and cb I see as our biggest needs.
