    Cards Big Day Ahead

    The Cards are in a better position to move their team forward in Day Two of the draft. Holding the third pick in round 2 and 3 picks in round three means the Cards should benefit tremendously from this deep draft pool. Looking first at round 2 (third pick), there are 5 obviously enticing...

    Draft Lesson Learned

    In the last draft Ossenfort made a calculated move by accepting a future draft pick as a key part of a trade. Observers for the most part, including me, endorsed the move. We all then spent the remainder of the following season watching the value of that pick drop faster than crypto. This year...

    Know Your History

    Odunze just said he wanted his Washington team to be thought of like Cam Newton’s Florida teams with Tebow. Actually a scandal over a stolen laptop drove Newton out of Florida to Auburn. Tebow replaced him as the Florida starter.

    Taking a Minute to Remember Dave Te

    He was the best at Mock Drafts. I’m not sure there would be a Combine without his efforts. RIP Mr. Thomas, you taught me a lot.

    Fast as Molasses

    Pick one is set. I expect the next picks will go slowly. There will be trade offers to every team in the top 5 at least. Everyone figures to use virtually all their time to try to determine the best offers. I keep hearing Pats take QB. The Cards’ issue is how big is big. It’s easy to go BPA...

    Ossenfort is Kicking the Hornets’ Nest in this Draft.

    Usually by now I can relate several interesting rumors making the rounds. I can’t this year. Ossenfort has exploded the rumor mill to the extent that nothing is likely. Everything depends on what the Cards do with whom. It would be pointless for me to tell you what I hear as no one really has a...

    My Draft Expectations & Preferences

    I realize some of these choices may differ slightly from my mock, but if everything falls into place earlier, I take a few chances. I think it’s imperative the Cards begin the draft by selecting one of the top 3 WRs. Whether they trade down or stay put they must acquire a weapon of this caliber...

    My Version of a Mock Draft

    If you’ve seen this format in previous years, it’s simple to follow. These are my preference selections at each pick in this order. Once you take a player, likely you never take more than 2 players at any position. If you feel you’re overloading, drop to the next player. Coleman at 35 would be...

    If You Have a The Athletic Subscription

    Read the breakdown by Ted Nguyen on the top 3 receivers. He ranks them Harrison, Odunze & Nabers with an excellent set of criteria.

    Really Weird Draft Prediction

    I was reading ESPN this morning only to find a guy named Miller had a very close match to my draft targets article under preparation. Incredibly he had Jordan Travis on his list and I can’t believe someone else named him. I’m just venting some frustration.

    Cards Trade Request Will Be Met

    The consensus among those I converse with is that the Cards demand of 3 first round choices will be met. The feeling is the Vikes are prepared to offer their two 2024 first round picks and their 2025 first. There is also a feeling Denver would offer their first for 2024, 25 & 26. Which way would...

    My Biggest Draft Worry

    At the moment. The most probable scenario has Cards trading with Minnesota and taking WR Thomas. I know he’s a popular choice. I have several concerns with this strategy. First the drop off from the top 3 WRs is dramatic. The top 3 are no risk choices, especially Harrison and Ordunze. Even...

    QB Question Has Been the Subject of Scout Talk All Day

    Since I consider rating QBs as one of my weakest areas (not alone in that) I thought I’d throw this out to the board. Is this group of QBs vastly overrated? The primary supporting theory is there are an unusual number of teams lacking competitive QBs. The other side maintains the testing from...

    Is No News Really Good News

    This is the quietest I’ve ever seen the jungle drums this close to draft day. Teams aren’t even putting out a bunch of misdirects. Teams have their boards set and seem content to sit and wait out the process. There’s a little bit of probing to determine who would be willing to move but everyone...

    Slow & Steady 2 Year Plan

    With substantial money to spend the Cards approached the free agency market conservatively. At 76 I’d appreciate a little more haste at joining the playoffs. Still I understand with a new staff all around it makes sense to avoid major commitments that will restrict future options. They face no...

    Needed Minor Signings

    I’d like to get Hamilton & Swaim re-signed.

    Today’s Draft Rumor

    The Pats really like Maye and will likely take him if available at 3. If he doesn’t drop they are leaning towards a trade. They would take Harrison if they don’t like the offers. Their evaluation group is split on Daniels if he’s the one falling to 3. The Cards would go down some for a good...

    Interviews for Draft

    If nothing else the Cards will lead the league in interviews. I’m told they talked with virtually every prospect between the all-star games and the Combine from Harrison on down. They’ve even talked to guys I can't imagine fit their draft intentions. They did skip the top QBs, but literally...

    Draft Noise Going Around - QBs

    He hasn’t thrown yet, but more and more I’m hearing Daniels will go in the top 3, maybe even 2 if he throws great. The Pats really like Harrison, but likely not enough to resist a trade with so many holes to fill. If things go that way it will be hard for the Cards to get much value trading...

    A Brief Comment on Offensive Strategy

    I am far from convinced we’ve seen a preview of the 2024 offense. Simply, when you’re not in position to win, why show your Cards (pun intended). Just fold so your competitors don’t gain too much knowledge about how you’re going to play various scenarios. I do think Gannon wanted to see if...

    My Theory of Free Agency

    I like the idea of impact players in each unit possible. The Card will keep Baker at safety and that’s your leader. McBride can dominate TEs. Conner leads the RBs. White will return at ILB. So they need a key CB, WR, OL and 2 guys at DL. The WR is likely a sure thing in the draft. There are also...

    What Kyler Murray Needs to Improve in 2024

    Now that it seems the decision has been made that Murray will be the QB in 2024, it’s worth noting some of what he has to improve to fully succeed. I specified 2024 because his contract is slightly more moveable in 2025. Still if he doesn’t show potential in these areas he might not be...

    Assuming You Want the Rumors I’m Hearing

    This is no great revelation as I understand CBS has tied him to the Cards. Graham Barton keeps popping up as being talked about by the Cards. He played OT at Duke, but I had him at guard. He was a highly rated guard coming out of high school and he played effective center as well. Scouts see him...
