I've thought for a few years now, that consensus in a big way drives how I and many who post on ASFN approach the upcoming drafts.
It seems every year their are board favorites which is natural in that we tend to want to fill in the biggest gaps and team needs.
This year the talk tends to center on the D side of the ball, since the big FA acquisitions were made on offense with multi-year contracts. Cromartie was the only real name signing on the D, and only for a one yr. deal. Further a vet RT might be signed after the draft is completed to compete with Brady Sowell and possibly Bobbie Massey for the RT spot.
So I and others have been touting the D as the likely 1st Rd target because it makes the most sense. Right now the priorities for the D would seem to be:
SS, WOLB, DE and CB.
As of today on offense the priorities would seem to be:
TE, RT, and possibly QBOF if they feel they can upgrade Lindley with a low risk, lower round pick.
Like a Logan Thomas or a few others that have been mentioned like Keith Wenning out of Ball St. Another UFA possibility could be Dustin Vaughan out of West Texas A&M, simply because of his requisite height at 6'5" fits what Arians is looking for to groom at the position down the line. But the Cardinals usually prefer to trade for experience at that critical position.
So my questions are as follows:
1- Outside of the positions mentioned do you have some favorite prospects that you would just love to see in Cardinal RED?
2- And of the perceived Need positions are there some favorites of yours that haven't really been discussed much on this forum?
3- Every year it seems, the Cardinals tend to make one of these choices (someone we didn't think was that great of a need selection) Last year it could have been Tyrann Mathieu maybe. To me he was a bit of a surprise pick in the 3rd. Who is that pick this year and in what Rd?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) I'd love to see Marqise Lee or Brandon Cooks in Cardinal Red.
Larry Fitz seems to be eched in stone as a lifelong Cardinal. But sometimes I wonder how the present regime really feels beyond the coming year regarding Larry's future with the Cardinals. Could something happen the next off-season?
If the Cardinals draft TE Austin Sefarian Jenkins in this next draft they would have him and Floyd as primary possession receivers going forward for this team. Having Fitzgerald around may be somewhat redundant and at a salary that becomes more than just a bit unmanageable. Just sayin.
3) Bishop Sankey is also a player at a position of less need. Never the less he is imo, going to be an impact player at RB in the NFL. Would love to see him in Arizona and use Ellington more as a specialist back/receiver next season.
