This Draft Looks Easy to Me

[Harry]

While everyone is focused on trying to number how many impact players are in this draft, there’s something worth noting that makes a mistake harder. If most picks have the same likelihood of success, every pick has the same value. There is so little difference between the chance of finding a Pro Bowler at 3 than 12, any pick is the same gamble. The BPAs are in limited value positions; RB & S. The others are need fillers. The Cards just need to find someone who makes the team better. I’d like it if they can try Simpson late in round 1, if they don’t have to sacrifice too much to get him. That’s why 12 & 20 appeals to me. However, if a good trade doesn’t happen I can live with most any choice. There’s an article out there I didn’t bother to link. However, the point is simple. Every top potential pick has a significant flaw. It’s a Popeye draft, “‘ya pays your money and ‘ya takes your chances.”

Well you were against Love? Now it sounds like your fine with it

I don’t like using pick 3 on an RB even in this mediocre draft. However, if the trade offers are lousy (I doubt it) then problems pop up. It’s also too early for an RT and there are options later. Reese scares me but at least he can play LB. The scout I posted who said Love fits MLF’s offensive scheme made me think that since I didn’t like the other options I could live with Love. This is a hideous draft. Cards’ curse rises again! Sorry if I flip-flopped but I still believe they trade down unless Bailey’s there. That’s 50/50 at best.

Do think 12 and 20 is enough for Monti to pull the trigger?

It appeals to me too. 12 and 20 isn't close to being enough though.

I know we need a lot of help but I'm not confident that Monti can pick guys that will add value. If Dallas wants number 3, they have to give up 12, 20 and 92 which is about as close as you can get to an even trade. Otherwise, stay where we are and pick either Bailey or Love. Yeah, most likely we will miss out on Simpson but it seems like the overall consensus is that he isn't that special so why waste capital. Take our chances with a QB later. If it doesn't work out, we most likely will be top 5 in the draft next year anyway!.

I won't try to speak to the second round and after, but if they trade down I do like the idea of getting the best available guard ahead of the Ravens and then a RT option at 20, wouldn't have to be Proctor necessarily. I'd be fine with a different QB then Simpson, depending on who is available in R2 and maybe take a shot at Allar or someone else a little later.

The possibility of shoring up the O-line finally is appealing though.

Monti would jump at that offer.

This is definitely a scout’s draft where they prove their mettle by separating the wheat from the chaff where there’s a large group of players all bunched together.

 

[WhackobyBrisket]

I'm not sure on what we'll get trading down AND I’m still not entirely sold on Simpson, but given our situation, he’s a risk worth taking with a late first-round pick.

If we pass on him and miss out, the upcoming free-agent QB class looks thin. My fear is that we’ll improve just enough to move out of range for next year's elite prospects, leaving us stuck in neutral after last season's disaster

I was able to score Love, Simpson, and Iheanafor from ASU in a mock draft sim the other night. Nothing would make me happier than somehow landing all 3 somehow. Extremely unlikely that happens, but that would be the best case scenario IMO.

Of course I’ll see this comment 3 years from now when someone else wound up being way better than those 3 lol

That would be immense, I've not seen any of Iheanachor, but from what I've read he has tonnes of potential.

He impressed at Senior Bowl week. His draft stock soared from 3rd round to late 1st. He’s raw but has potential. I haven’t seen enough of his tape to properly judge myself, but there’s buzz around him for sure.

I can’t imagine a better offer unless he can play the Boys themselves into offering more.

Thanks Harry.

Bailey, trade down, Love makes the most sense. Really sucks there isn't another top tier QB!

If there was he would be a Jet

It's the "Cardinals Way"

My main goal is to avoid going up in the draft or moving down. Take Love, then wait at 34 for Simpson, if he's gone, you draft an OT or Edge whichever and in the 3rd you can get Beck or Nussmeier, whoever you want more. I'd be totally fine with that, Love is franchise changing IMO. He makes everyone better just because the defense has to adjust to him.

Definitely don’t want to move up in this draft. I’m fine with moving down.

This was my thought long ago. This is an absolutely horrible draft. The least interesting draft in ages.

Works both ways I guess

Alas....

I'd be good with this too. I think highly of Nussmeier.
