So you're glad we passed on Adrian Peterson for Levi Brown? Cool. Cool cool cool.

So do you think he is an Adrian Peterson?

The Cardinals needs nuts and bolts. IMO, they should trade down in the draft and select a quarterback later.

There's a much higher chance that he is Peterson than there is any of these RT schmoes are a Tristan Wirfs.

Monti has done nothing but nuts and bolts drafting and signings; he trades down for more magic beans to do so rather than taking the top talents that are right there. Hell, the entirety of FA spending on the OL and DL has been nuts and bolts spending, save the Seumalo (sp?) signing. This team needs top-end talent, not depth or JAG starters.

I don't think drafting a running back early is the answer. It would be like having dessert before the meal. I think we can agree, I don't have a lot of confidence in Monti.

I understand. It's a popular opinion. Same with a S. But when I think of guys like Ed Reed and Adrian Peterson and then other guys like Najee Harris and Terrell Edmunds (both drafted by the Stillers later in the 1st round), I know what level of talent I want to target.

I feel like there’s a greater range of outcomes than you’re positing here

We shouldn’t be drafting a slow footed tackle at #3 either. Nobody is trading up to #3. Take the best player.

Generally I have a draft BPA available philosophy but I'm not sure who that is. If the Cardinals can trade down, I like more bites at the apple. If the Cardinals want to swing away, at least go after need.

BPA for me realistically is Love or Bailey. Everyone needs explosive edges. I like Reese but he needs perfect development.

I just can't see going after a running back early in the draft with the Cardinals being so needy. They need to be drafting safe picks if they stay at #3 unless they move down in the draft. Quality running backs are usually found later.

You have to be thinking you are two - three years from competing in this division. So if we take an excellent skill position player and then just hammer the lines after that I am okay with it. The preferred plan is punting on round 1 entirely

I'm hoping the Cardinals find a taker and move down in the draft for more picks. Wish I had more confidence in their drafting, but I don't. I'm kind of thinking, move down for more darts to throw at the board and grab a quarterback along the way.

We absolutely agree.

Slight correction—Giants pick #5 not #6

I know the Browns also have 2 1st rounders but I can’t see them giving up picks as they have more holes than Swiss cheese and can afford even less than the saints to move up!!!

I don't feel Mauigoa is a stretch at 3, but I understand I am in the minority. He is also not my top choice, but I still feel he will be an impactful player if MLF feels like he an handle the outside zone scheme. (I think he can but I am not a NFL offensive mind by any stretch)

See, my argument is that if you don’t have confidence in Monti you want him to take the talent with less warts. Less chance for him to screw it up. By all accounts love has fewer warts than any olineman in the draft. Don’t let him Monti-this-up.

That hasn’t worked in the past for Monte, why would it work this time?
