Monti just had to go and outsmart himself tonight, didn't he? Freaking magic beans cost us.

Oh well. Now we have the kid, and he's not a horrible draftee. Taken too early, yes, and after Monti screwed up with the trade down, but it's not the kid's fault. Here's to hoping he can develop fast and start for the Cards.

All I'm saying is drafting the "big name" that somehow fell in the draft was always the Keim special. All the Keim era post draft grades used to gush about how we got amazing value on our picks.

So you're 100 percent certain he didn't trade back and miss out on the player he really wanted? Sure. You're omniscient. I'm looking at the board and at other corners I think are better. I couldn't care less about mocks.

DeJean was ranked as high as 24. There are reasons players fall.
If everyone was drafted on rankings alone we wouldn’t need a draft.

I wonder if he was the CB they wanted all along. Got a fourth third rounder going to be a busy night.

As I mentioned earlier this morning. There were a bunch of players with very similar grades so trading back would make sense.

Ok, the more I read up, the more I like! So, we've plugged 3 holes so far!

I am. No team is targeting one player, if they are, their hella dumb.

Beliefs and opinions aren't facts. Try again. Hella dumb indeed (Monti).

Also it's they're :BIM:

After picking two injured players last year, maybe they want an all healthy draft class this year. Cooper apparently isn't fully cleared yet.

CB DeJean broke leg at Iowa, plans draft workout

Cornerback and first-round hopeful Cooper DeJean confirmed his final season at Iowa was derailed by a broken leg, saying he has just recently started running at full speed.

Meh, I would've bought that if we hadn't gone with a CB after a bunch of CBs were taken. Teams say they like a bunch of guys the same all the time, but I'm betting they believe very different in private.

Are you going to actually debate my argument or me as a person?

No team does what you said. It's just not a thing. The Cardinals very likely had ten players closely graded, so they traded down.

Have to trust JG on this one. Should contribute on special teams right away while eventually earning playing time on defense. This team is in dire need of ball hawks.

 

[BigDavis75]

I’d have to think monti had the corners rated similarly or maybe even had Melton with a higher grade. Excited we got a corner though, really hitting our needs at what seem like good values.

Another Senior Bowl standout

Cards had 3 coaches at the senior bowl...they were all on the offensive side, but it shows they paid attention to who their players went up against.

Everyone is using beliefs and opinions right now. We'll see if Melton is better than people think or if it was a reach, but right now it's a opinion either way.

 

[Stout]

Then how can you be so sure he outsmarted himself?

As I said (maybe in another thread), because he picked a CB right after a run on CBs. I can't be any more correct than Krang (who isn't correct, no matter the poo he spews), but that's what it appears to me. If he went with a different position I could've bought that he had a range of players all rated the same.

You're telling me I can't possibly be right. You're making factual statements when you're only stating opinions. You're mansplaining the draft to me for crying out loud. Why should I engage that poo? Be less abrasive and I'll engage your OPINION.

Couldn't you make the argument the other way? If he goes to another position than all of the corners he wanted to fall didn't so he went with another position.

Truth. Well said, bankybruce.

I Trust JG, Saban and Harry as well as other experts whom say its a great pick. People just like to cry because its not who they wanted.

Nobody in this forum can claim they are right.

And honestly, the bold is a valid point.

I don't always agree with Monti's picks. But I'm certain he has a lot more information at his disposal than we do and his job is always on the line. It is cool for other posters to debate things and give an opinion. It's what message boards are for. But I agree, we'll see.
