I had very high expectations heading into this offseason with the cap money they had to spend and a clearer (I presumed that meant more intelligent) front office and hoped for a huge draft to really plug some holes and get this team headed to playing meaningful games in January.

They missed some opportunities, they signed a few guys whom nobody is really doing huge backflips over and then when they have a guy practically begging to play for AZ (and fill a huge need) they tell him to wait. Sheesh.

Section 11, I have this gut feeling this is going to be a draft in which the Cards get blasted by Kiper for reaching, missing "sure" picks and walking away with many of the holes they went into the draft with.

Last year, after the Bengals picked Levi, Kiper said something like, "what do you expect, they're the Bengals."

On Saturday I sure hope he doesn't have occassion to say, "what do you expect, they're the Cardinals."

If there is a medical problem with Robinson, do you think Graves would have made a contract offer as has been reported?

I have this sinking feeling they are ill-prepared for this draft.

Am I weong or did we ever get a "valid" report on that???

Graves today said they haven't talked numbers yet.

The 48hr rule is still in effect....but we also have the draft so probably by Weds next week Robinson will get an offer but he will have already signed with the Raiders or 9ers.

and right after he signs with them Graves will ceremoniously declare they have pulled their offer!

Last few years we have gotten kudos on draft day only to have players not perform. I'll take Kiper's verbal abuse for some productive players.
