If either were available when our 1st pick comes,

Should the Cards pass on Derrick Brown DT or Isaiah Simmons LB for a top OT like Becton or WR like Jeudy? (Quick answer via poll, if you post a longer reply or not.)

There is not one skilled player that literally strikes fear into the heart of defenses.

Kyler Murray.

our offense wasn’t bad at all last year after week 4, but our defense was damn near last if not last in the NFL.

you can’t pass up on a generational talent like Simmons

 

[DVontel]

I’m against taking a WR in the top 10 for the most part, but I’d much rather take a WR top 10 than a ILB top 10.

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

How would a draft like this look, if we were able to get Simmons or Brown?

Round 1 Pick 8: Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn or Isaiah Simmons, LB, Clemson
Round 2 Pick 8: Zack Baun, OLB, Wisconsin
Round 3 Pick 8: Trey Adams, OT, Washington
Round 4 Pick 8: Lucas Niang, OT, TCU
Round 6 Pick 23: Evan Weaver, ILB, California
Round 7 Pick 8: Jared Pinkney, TE, Vanderbilt

Better an athletic freak like Simmons then a +325 pounds Dt with not great college production and with very poor athleticism

 

[Solar7]

I'm still torn. I won't be able to answer this one until free agency is underway. If we invest in ILB and multiple DL, then OT/WR for sure. If not, then maybe defense.

 

[Proximo]

I would take Young, Simmons, or Okudah if they are on the board no questions asked.

If those 3 are gone, than CeeDee Lamb is the way to go IMO

 

[Goldfield]

I think you take the athletic speedster Simmons

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

If he’s there, Simmons should be the pick. End of story. Been saying that for awhile.
He’s exactly what the defense needs.

To pass on him for a WR, in a ridiculously deep WR class would be a huge mistake.

 

[pinetopred]

I really like Lamb but if a defensive player is there I'm kinda leaning that direction but it really does depend on FA

 

[slanidrac16]

Kyler Murray.

I get where you are coming from. I basing my opinion on the hopes we add to our defense in free agency AND after the first round.

 

[Dingding]

Ugh... why do I have to bunch Simmons with Brown.

 

[AZman5103]

Just read the USA today mock. Has us trading #8 to the Colts for #13, #34 and a late round pick....and still getting Lamb at #13.

I would take that deal all day long. 3 top 40 picks in this draft would be great.

 

[Harry]

Most of the people I communicate with believe Simmons will be gone long before the Cards pick. Sentiment is Wirfs or a trade back and Lamb.

Yup

 

[GatorAZ]

Yes I’d pass on a defensive player not named Chase Young for an OT. A stud tackle impacts every play.

 

[JeffGollin]

Good question. Either answer could be OK. Or not.

 

[PACardsFan]

A friend in Cleveland says local sports radio said if Becton is still there at 8, they will trade up with Cardinals to get him. I believe Cleveland is at #10.

 

[Goldfield]

This is why I’m torn. An OT helps Murray and the run game

Wirfs nullifies a Brown quality DL a high percentage of snaps.

I'm on the OL or trade back train.

This would be awesome. Colts want Love?

 

[Jetstream Green]

We can all differ and we will really never actually know till later, as will the NFL teams, but if I had Brown on the board, I would then shoot that selection up to the stage with a thermonuclear missile... if Brown is gone and Simmons is there, I would take Wirfs or Wills because this team needs to secure the trenches

Mcshay & Kiper seem to think it will be Becton. They have the Cowboys taking Lamb. Doesn't mean they're right. I'm in the belief that our pick at #8 depends on our FA signings. I know, huge reach there lol.

You're right, they do need that but we also need to cover people. The defense gave up too many points in 2019, cost us 4-5 wins. The OL as is held up good enough to keep us in games. I'm not saying the OL is elite either, they do need to get better. Simmons is a guy you just shouldn't pass on if he's there imo. He would probably help this defense more than Brown. Either way, we should take one of the 2.
