calling it now

Cards go offense in round 1

and its a wide out Emeka Ebuka or Luther Burden

clip and save: for mockery or otherwise

Oline. If the RT from Mizzou is there he can play guard for a year then move out to RT.

Feel the same was about Will Campbell who many project to make the switch and become a high level guard.

Gotta say still going DL at #16/#47 is attractive because I never want to watch last year’s version of this DL ever again.

Doubt both Membou & Campbell will make it to #16.

Agree, but could happen.

The pool of players mocked from 8 to 20 is getting more and more crowded per the two primary podcasts I listen to for draft info (Move the Sticks and Check the Mic).

DTs are moving up (Grant, Nolan, Harmon). The 2 safeties are moving up. 1 stud CB is now 2x stud CBs. 2x elite OTs is now 3x elite OTs. 1 G worthy of a mid-low 1st is now 2x Gs.

Here is what I know about the top 16.

Cam Ward
Ashton Jeanty
Tyler Warren (not James Franklin ... how dumb)
Colston Loveland
Will Campbell
Mason Graham
Abdul Carter
Shamar Stewart
Travis Hunter
Will Johnson

I am pretty sure these guys all go. After that, it’s a little trickier. A player like Membou could fall because some teams will pass on his size. Lots of players have things like that which could keep them out IMO.

Pretty sure you mean Warren - not Loveland.
And Franklin who?

But this is my point exactly. There are 6-8 players in the expected first tier. The second tier grows bigger and bigger which is good at #16, but someone projected higher might also slip as a result of this.

Man, I disagree. I think alot of teams love Membou. His stock was already shooting up & it went even higher after the combine. Only ones I expect to go before him are Ward, Carter, & Travis. That’s really it. Everyone else is free game.

Agree. From what I hear the 1st tier is pretty stable for the first 1-7-ish picks. But the tier that was from 8-20 is adding more and more potential players. Several players previous rated 20-35 now moving into top 15 consideration

Nah, we're going D...for an off-ball linebacker.

Collins, Simmons part III

I’ll buy the entire board beers if that happens.

Monti clearly takes positional value into account when drafting and ILB is a buttom 4 position.

Not happening at #16

I don't think Membou gets past the Niners.

 

[BritCard]

FA has really changed the draft outlook.

The team doesn't have to reach for DT or Edge, opens up anything at #16. I still think they should draft one of each, but tackle, guard, ILB and CB have entered the chat.

I was joking. I would go through the roof if he did that.

ILBer at 16 would be Keim-y. CB at 16, I don't think the value would be there, and it wouldn't meet need. I suspect it will be DT, OT, or Edge, probably that order. But that's pure speculation.

 

[BACH]

You and me both…

The only scenario I could see is if a team like the Chiefs or Bills offered something crazy (their 1st next year + 2x 3rds) to swap. I’ll be okay with Campbell at 31 as he most likely would be the clearly best player available

 

[football karma]

thats definitely in the plans -100% they will take a MLB

but the ones the Cards have met with are all rd 2 and later guys

Yes. What’s obviously why he invested a third-round pick in a blocking tight end.

16th overall = 1000 draft value points
82nd overall = 180’draft value points

Great comparison

I think it is highly probable that a team takes Membou in the top 16. He is very technically sound. The only thing that keeps him out IMO is he may not be a fit for every team because of his lack of traditional size. I have the same concern for Green and Walker on the EDGE.

Thanks for the call out. Had James Franklin on the brain. I do think two TEs go top 16.

Very likely. Which adds to my point. Loveland before 20 is picking up in mocks

Dark Horse: WR

I don't think Monti goes WR in the 1st in back to back years.

Agreed. Offensive or defensive line are most likely imo.
