2023 4th round pick #122 is Jon Gaines II G

I know. With the set of folks content with a 2+ year rebuild, this is the kind of logic needed to justify having to stink for so long.

I don't think anybody is content with it. How can they be it's a made up time line?

 

[cardncubfan]

I think this guy is going to be one of the starters before the year is over. Maybe not at center either. Very good interview imo.

I‘ve heard that centers are very intelligent dudes. If that’s the case, then he’ll be all pro real quick. Great, great draft pick. Now I know why Sears pushed for this guy over the overrated centers in this draft!!!

I've read a number of posters swear they'd be perfectly happy with it. Hell, I heard one say 2-5 years would be fine with them. 2-5 years!

Yeah, let's see how long all that zen acceptance really lasts

Based on an interview?

Based on an interview?

Yes. That's all I have it based on.

 

[Stout]

Yes. That's all I have it based on.

Eh, blame my parsing of your language, which led the reader in that direction. Allow me to then ask, what makes you think he'll be starting? Just curious.

Hope, thats all we have as Cardinals fans…

Jeebus. The guys quoting poetry at the end. Great interview. cant wait to see what this guy can do. I know Im rooting for him.

 

[gimpy]

I don't listen to these interviews very often. But, this guy was great to listen to his interview. He's a great interview (IMO). It's nice to hear somebody talk intelligently about someone other than himself, and give them credit.

I'm glad this interview was posted.

It was a good interview. I really feel like he carries this on the field though. He's probably reading poetry to nose tackles while waiting to snap.

Really needs to get much tougher on the field and play more physically.

 

[CFLredzoned]

He'll have to beat out Hayes. Only thing about Hayes, I wonder if he doesn't fit their scheme.

I thought same so I went and watch him at OU and there's lots of good film of him zone blocking.

For me, unless Hayes has forgot how to play football he should start at LG. That's my hope.

Jones has a shot but with only a year left it does nothing for the future.

Agree! But hasn’t Jones proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he’s a tackle and NOT a guard.

Agree! And watch his film. He’s a nasty, intelligent, and articulate dude. Give that man some playing time. I’m tired of playing morons that assist us in being the most penalized team in the league every year.

It's hella dumb to draft a player in round 1-3 and then not try to start them.

Um, then where would our first-round pick play?

 

[BritCard]

I think it's maybe more better on the left than the right.

 

[BritCard]

Um, then where would our first-round pick play?

Right tackle. Tackle is far more important than Guard and we should have the best guys there.

Beach is 34 and on backup money. He's a good swing backup. Also really don't think he's mobile enough for outside zone.

Is that a good position for him, though?

 

[BigDavis75]

Hump/Hayes/Gaines/Hernandez/Paris with Jones/Beachum/Smith/someone else backing up would be great. Three young starters on the line.

 

[CFLredzoned]

There it is! Paris is our RT

[Krangodnzr]

I'd argue that it is. Quite a few teams are putting premium picks into right tackle.

I think it goes along with them wanting to put the best 5 on the field.

Of course that means one of the other LG candidates has to pan out. Hayes, Gaines, Jones, Froholdt. One of those guys has to elevate his game to the point where he's a bigger asset on the field than Beachum.

 

[BritCard]

Is that a good position for him, though?

He's played RG and LT. He says he can play RT. So has to be really. I don't know how you can go into the offseason with any other plan than him being at RT.
