Hello NFL-o-sphere,
Alright, this isn't fun anymore (well actually it is but I am being dramatic). While I try to stick to the rules of the board, this one time I think this applies. When it comes to this NFL draft, I have one thing to say,
W.T.F.
Seriously, there is no way to to get a good handle on things this year, there are so many directions the Cardinals can go, not to mention with "smoke screen" season going on, it makes it worse, because the Cardinals are really selling their ideas in the media.
1. I could post a few mocks, but they are nothing special this year, so I think its best to look at the roster instead of mocks.
2. But this is a mock extravaganza, so I will post some, and first few, I think the Cardinals can take advantage of the unique situation the Raiders are in, where they have to sell a team to the fans that is moving in 2 years. Thus they could be making moves to win-now. When it comes to a trade partner, I think the Raiders, who the Cardinals have worked with a lot over the years, will be a realistic one.
3. Then I have some general mocks, but with this deep of a draft, they are so eclectic with not only the players but who is available when. I am only using databases from Fanspeak, CBS, and Walterfootball since when I try any others, everything just gets crazy.
1. The Roster:
QB:
This is something the Cardinals have to address at come point in the next two years. Yes, Palmer is signed till 2018, and yes, I agree, his skills are trending downward. But, Carson Palmer is not the focal point of this offense. David Johnson is, the Cardinals can go full re-build next season, and transition from Carson Palmer. Mind you Drew Stanton is 32 years old as well. The Cardinals really need to start addressing this position in more ways then one.
True or False: The Cardinals will not draft a QB in round 1. I say this is false. Ridiculous to think the Cardinals won't address this position if the opportunity will be there. There are WAY too many teams looking QB in front of the Cardinals right now. Trading down is a great option in this draft.
Need: Higher than normal. Always a good move to draft quarterbacks. At least on every other year, IMHO.
RB:
Actions speak louder than words. David Johnson, Kerwynn Williams, and Elijia Penny. Arians likes those veteran, low cost running backs. They didn't sign one, they have been in talks with Chris Johnson, but nothing is signed. Why? Because the Cardinals are looking to draft a running back. There are a host of running backs the Cardinals can key on in the draft. I have not really looked at any players in the top rounds, but a running back like Alvin Kamara I have seen dropping in value. This back would be a steal in the 2nd or 3rd round. Perfect for the Cardinals. Never even put him in my mind until a few weeks ago when I saw him dropping into the Cardinals range.
True or False: The Cardinals are fine at running back, and do not need to draft one. FALSE.
Need: Normal. Mid to late round. Backup plan is to sign Chris Johnson post-draft.
WR:
The conversations I have had on this board about wide receivers has been great. One of the better interactions I have had on ASFN in years. A lot of posters are really making good cases for the situation. The truth is, on paper, the Cardinals are in good shape: Fitzgerald, John Brown, Jaron Brown, JJ Nelson, and add in Aaron Dobson, and Jeremy Ross. For years, I have always talked about a big bodied possession receiver, and while I didn't like the Michael Floyd pick, when sober, he was a perfect fit for the role. Yeah, I think I have become fixated on this role. Here I am barking up the tree for a mid-round big bodied receiver., and the Cardinals quietly signed Aaron Dobson, he could be that guy for that role, and if not ? I will take Jaron Brown and put my trust in him to make the catch to move the chains.
The real situation I think the Cardinals are going to have to wrestle with is what happens next season when Larry Fitzgerald is jet-setting in September because he is retired ?
True or False: The Cardinals NEED TO replace Michael Floyd with a high draft pick (3rd round of higher). False, because its the wrong question. The question is do the Cardinals have enough depth for when Fitzgerald leaves.
Need: High. For 2017? The Cardinals can roll the dice and go with what they got. But, this is Larry Fitzgerald's swan song. Going into 2018 with John Brown, Jaron Brown, and JJ Nelson. I think Corey Davis is going to be available at #13, and I think the Cardinals are going to have a tough decision there.
TE:
I know John Gambodoro of KTAR is abrasive to you west coast types. LOL. But, here on the east coast that is just a normal personality, for better or worse. I listen to Burns & Gambo a lot, they brought up a GREAT point. For some reason or another, organizations have things they do really well and things they do poorly. The Patriots (seen as a the gold standard by many) cannot draft a wide receiver to save their life, the kid Mitchell they drafted last year was pretty good, but that is one out of so many receivers that it is almost shocking. Yet, if you look at pass rushers ? The Patriots own that part of player evaluation. What am I getting at ? The Cardinals cannot analyze a tight end to save their lives. While I like OJ Howard a lot, he is just not in the plans at #13, not for the Cardinals at least, and the rest ? In a draft this deep at other positions, I'd rather they go the UDFA route this offseason.
True or False: The Cardinals cannot evaluate a tight end to save their jobs. TRUE.
Need: None. Sign Joshia Price, or Taylor MacNamara, or Sean Culkin, or Blake Jarwin as a UDFA.
OL:
I am not worried about the Cardinals offensive line. So, nice to finally say that. Steve Keim gets to hang his hat on one thing about his influence with the Cardinals, and that is he has done EXACTLY what he said he would do. He was going to make sure the Cardinals are strong in the trenches. You ready, because here comes the statement that will get people keyed up: "THE OFFENSIVE LINE IS THE HARDEST SITUATION TO BRING TOGETHER IN THE NFL". Yup. Harder than getting a Quarterback, harder than just about anything. It is a lost art, and the college/highschool game is not helping a bit. Furthermore, the creation of these defensive linemen that are literally super-beasts is not helping either. For example, what in the hell do you do to stop Khalil Mack?
DJ Humphries, Jared Veldheer, John Wetzel, Mike Iupati, Evan Boehm, Cole Toner, A.Q. Shipley. That is some good depth right there for today's NFL. It is not the best in the NFL, but from the days of Levi Brown, Daryn College, Adam Synder, and Jeremy Bridges? Or dare I say, D'Anthony Batiste, and Bobby Massie? Yeah, the Cardinals have really improved this group.
True or False: The Cardinals need to draft a right guard high in the draft. False. The Cardinals typically do not start rookie O-Linemen, and Evan Boehm and John Wetzel can fight it out at right guard. I am personally interested in seeing John Wetzel after a year in the system, not to mention Wetzel is the "swiss army knife" player for the Cardinals this year.
Need: Below normal. You cannot have it all in the draft. Players like Forrest Lamp could drop to the 2nd round, or one of my favorite players this draft, Dion Dawkins could be had in the 2nd or 3rd. I just do not see the Cardinals going there this draft.
DL:
There is a reason the Cardinals have kept a hold of the defensive linemen on their roster over the last few years. They feel the group of defensive linemen they have is still a strength on this team. I agree, but there is going to be some hand wringing (rightfully so) about losing Calias Campbell. There are some really good fits for the Cardinals in this draft, just don't think the Cardinals are looking there. Not to mention I have had Jonathan Allen falling to #13 about 3% of the time in my mock drafts.........I take him every single time by the way. Why not draft Allen, and then trade a prospect later? Again, I do not see it happening. But, MAN it is hard not drafting Carlos Watkins when he is there in all the mocks I simulate. This is just another example of the Cardinals making sure they have talent and depth in the trenches, just like the offensive line, Keim has done a really good job with the defensive line.
True or False: The Cardinals are fine without Calias Campbell. True.
Need: Low to none.
Edge Rushers:
In today's NFL, it is kind of like sexual preferences, LOL, "Why do you have to put a label on it?" Is David Johnson a running back or wide receiver, is Andre Ellington a running back or receiver, is Tyrann Mathieu a safety or a corner back, is Chandler Jones a 3-4 OLB, a 4-3 DE, or a 4-3 DT ? Thus I like this new trend of calling DE's or OLB's "edge rushers".
This again is another good conversation with ASFN. The Cardinals have very good edge rushers, Marcus Golden and Chandler Jones can dominate games, just ask perennial Superbowl favorites, the Seattle Seahawks about trying to block these two. The Cardinals completely shutdown the Seattle offense twice last season. I like Jarvis Jones for the role they need him to play, and think Alex Okafor made a HUGE mistake not re-signing (he is not a starter in the NFL, just a role player and won't play anymore in New Orleans then he would have here). Not to mention I am a fan of Kareem Martin, plays special teams, and is a solid player when asked to go play defense. Pass rushers are hard to find, unless you are the Patriots of course.
Yet, you very convincing posters on ASFN, have really sold me on the fact that it is always good to pick up a pass rusher if they are available. Not to mention there are some pretty good prospects in the draft, not a lot but they are scattered among the draft. Players that I like are all top draft picks unfortunately, (Charles Harris, TJ Watt, Takkarist McKinley, Ryan Anderson, that is why I am not seeing the Cardinals take one, but I will just say that if you read ASFN there are some posters that are really looking under every rock at the position and are making some good cases for some mid-roung players.
True or False: The Cardinals are fine with what they have for pass rushers. **I dunno, I think they are but won't be surprised if they draft one.**
Need: Normal. aka "it's always a good idea to draft a pass rusher if the opportunity is there."
Inside Linebacker:
I am really starting to hate this position. It is another situation where this is a lost art in the NFL, because of the highschool/college game. A light weight, quicker, coverage linebacker is great for college and highschool.........then those players come to the NFL, and they get DEMOLISHED in the running game. I still have visions of Kevin Minter, and Deone Bucanon getting DESTROYED by the Buffalo Bills offensive line and fullbacks.
If you ask me, this is the biggest need with the least amount of options. Deone Bucanon, Karlos Dansby, Alani Fua, Gabe Martin, Zavier Gooden, & Scooby Wright. I dunno, that is just a bad situation if you ask me. Plenty of special teams potential, but the Cardinals need someone on defense to be making some tackles behind that defensive line. I am not a big Deone Bucanon fan as a ILBer.
True or False: The Cardinals have to invest in the inside linebacker position this draft. TRUE.
Need: High
Cornerback:
Worst smoke screen ever. The Cardinals are looking for nickel back cornerbacks ? Please. They lamented loosing Marcus Cooper, and there is a reason Brandon Williams didn't play last year, and a reason Justin Bethel took a pay cut. I see Patrick Peterson, and Brandon Williams as the only two cornerbacks with safe rosters spots.
The amount of taller, big bodied, press-man coverage cornerbacks in this draft is overwhelming. To the point where most mock drafts I do, I just list the 3 or 4 players that I would take that are available to the Cardinals at that spot. Yet, mattering on the draft database, and how updated the database is, I have seen quality cornerbacks all the way into the 4th round.
Marlon Humphries, Marcus Lattimore, Adoree Jackson, Quincy Wilson, Cordea Tankersly, Fabian Moreau, Kevin King, **** Tabor all good talents and prospects for the Cardinals defense. Then in the later rounds Rasul Douglas, Chidobe Awuzie, Brendon Langley, Howard Wilson, and Brandon Facyson could also fit in nicely as a depth cornerback. And that is just in my opinion, I am sure there are others that could be an option, people seem to like Gareon Conley more than I do for the Cardinals.
True or False: The Cardinals do not need a cornerback to play on the outside in this draft. FALSE, you kidding me ?
Need: Very High
Safety:
This would be my "no risk it, no biscuit" position in the draft. There are some really good safeties throughout the draft. Malik Hooker is my hands down favorite, yet it has been months since I saw him available in any mock draft simulator, and the same goes for Jamal "The Beast" Adams. Either one of those players is available at #13, and I would put the paper with their name in a T-shirt gun and shoot it up there.
Yet, I am falling into a trap here, and I cannot get out of it. Part of me is thinking the Cardinals catch lightning in a bottle again, and get a late rounder that will be able to help the Cardinals sooner rather than later. The Cardinals lost a lot of knowledge and leadership when Rashad Johnson left last year, but we all saw Johnson was not a NFL starter, his tackling was abysmal. Antione Bethea is a great signing for the Cardinals. This was a very calculated move. The Cardinals know that: A. They will be very young at the safety position this year, and B. Peterson and Mathieu are more efffective when not worrying about lining up other players.
True or False: The Cardinals need to replace Jefferson, and Swearinger. True. They are in the market for free safeties and strong safeties.
Need: High
Special Teams:
I think the Cardinals are good here. They have overhauled the group, with Phil Dawson, Aaron Brewer, and whomever wins the camp battle between Matt Wile/Richie Leone.
Justin Bethel being healthy, Jaron Brown being healthy, Alani Fua being healthy, and adding players like Jeremy Ross, and Scooby Wright will help.
True or False: The Cardinals need to worry about special teams in the draft. True. Late round linebacker may be a good thing for the Cardinals. Hardy Nickerson would be a good 7th round pick or UDFA.
Need: Low
