Answer these questions prior to the 2009 draft

The Cardinals will trade Anquan Boldin
The Caridnals will take a runningback in the first round
The Cardinals will trade up in the first two rounds
The Cardinals are looking at BPA in the first round
The Cardinals are confident with Lyle Sendlein
The Cardinals will trade Matt Leinart


The Cardinals will trade Anquan Boldin - False
The Caridnals will take a runningback in the first round - False
The Cardinals will trade up in the first two rounds - False
The Cardinals are looking at BPA in the first round - True
The Cardinals are confident with Lyle Sendlein - False
The Cardinals will trade Matt Leinart - False!

First off, Anquan Boldin will be a member of the 2009 Cardinals and they will look for late round help at runningback. There is nothing inticing on the board in the first two rounds that would make them trade up. However they will take a falling player regardless of need.

Finally, my spidey sense tells me that Whiz's positive comments regarding Sendlein means they are targeting a center.

False
True

False (BPA but if A WR is the BPA available they aren't taking him)
True--they are confident enough in him that they have no problem with him remaining the starter but they still wouldn't hesitate to draft a player they think has more potential
False

This is how I would project these issues also. There are too many unknowns. For example, if Boldin refuses the best offer the Cards make the chances of a trade increase. Likewise, what is offered in a trade should have significant impact on whether the Cards would accept. If a another 1st round pick is part of the trade, the odds of selecting a RB in the first round would increase dramatically.

The Cardinals will trade Anquan Boldin - False
The Caridnals will take a runningback in the first round - maybe?

The Cardinals are looking at BPA in the first round - True

The Cardinals will trade Matt Leinart - False

The Cards will draft Knowshon if he is on the board at #31 because that would make him far and away the BPA, so that is a two-for-one. They have confidence in Sendlein since they made it to the big game with him, but that doesn't eliminate drafting a center.

The Cardinals will trade Anquan Boldin

No, unless a damn good trade falls in their lap. That would be a trade that nets us a mid to late first rounder this year, a third too or a 2nd or 1st next year. But I'm guessing he's a card again.


The Caridnals will take a runningback in the first round

It depends on what is there at 31. If we trade boldin and get a pick in the 20 range, then yes.


The Cardinals will trade up in the first two rounds

Other than a potential boldin trade, no. We will pick where we stand if we don't move q.

The Cardinals are looking at BPA in the first round

Yes, could be defense here, or oline, or RB. Best player will rule at 31.



The Cardinals are confident with Lyle Sendlein

Yes, but if there is a hot prospect BPA in the first two picks at center, they will take one.

The Cardinals will trade Matt Leinart

Not in a million years. Not a chance. It would be the dumbest move on the planet. And not because of Matt's potential, but because they have a great 1-2 at QB with an old warrior at QB1. Moving matt would be idiotic. STUPID.
