who has the best chance to breakout this season in a positive way?

Nkemdiche ?

Brandon Williams ?

My money is on Chad Williams. WRs generally break through year 2 or 3. And he seems to have the size and decent speed. There is not much to make a factual decision that he will break out but just mostly a hunch.

I am going to place my money on Reddick. I think the new staff will figure out how to use him and play to his strengths.

I think we could see more than one. I don't feel like the old staff was all that great at developing talent. Hopefully we've fixed that.

The Cardinals desperately trying to sign EJ Gaines and other vet CB's makes me believe that they are not too highly positive in Williams. I do believe that Chad Williams will breakout this year due to the lack of pursuit for a vet WR. I mean we heavily pursued vet off-injured OL, why not peruse a vet recuperating like Pryor?

Forgot about Reddick. I for one think his ceiling is Minter like production at best

Reddick's probably my number one. He was doing alright at ILB and I think that's what we drafted him to do. He's a heck of an athlete.

I want Nkemdiche to step up, but I don't know that I'm confident in that.

I like Reddick more than most...dude has talent and never should have been moved to olb last season as he was just starting to get comfortable in the middle.

my hope for kemdippy is a few things... new defensive coaches may help, these guys have a rep for building defenses so that may motivate a guy to listen and try to please...contract, to get a huge contract he needs to start showing production and the sooner that starts the better that contract will be... thirdly, is the oline...not just the new guys but the new coaches...if the technique improves kemdippy will be getting punked in practice and elite athletes like to talk crap.... having the fellas laugh at him for getting punked or shut down might just piss the guy off and make him mad...dlinemen need to play angry just like LBers do...


I also have some hope for Chad williams,...as somebody mentioned above....Bradford has to throw to somebody and as it looks right now the defense will just triple cover Fitz to stop our passing attack.

in the first or maybe second round...dont overlook Christian Kirk though.... he said on NFLN that playing for the redbirds would be "a dream come true"... the last guy to say that was Deuce Latui.....both fit a need at the time and we drafted Deuce, I have a feeling they are gonna try and get Kirk as well.... it is not often that a highly ranked player wants to be a cardinal

All on board with Kirk over here. First or second, like you said.

The only thing I disagree with is Nkemdiche and the crap talking. One of the Arians' staff's issues was taking a pretty hard line with everyone and "hugging them later," but I don't know if everyone responded to that. Robert strikes me as a guy who would rather be talked up than talked down. I know that's my personality.

not the staff... the other players. Players talk smack on each other all the time when they get beat, especially if it happens a lot....I think with the new coach and the new guard nkemdippy is going to get beat a lot in practice
