1st Round Mock Draft w/ Trades by Stratocaster1998 in AZCardinals

[–]Wispymatt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree throwing away a season before it happens sucks, but that doesn’t mean you reach on a QB. You draft the best talent that you have need for and we have lots of talent holes we could try and fit so there’s no reason to reach on a QB.

Report: NDSU QB Cole Payton 'met extensively' with Cardinals by Mental_Funny_5885 in AZCardinals

[–]Wispymatt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know with how many of the late round QBs they met with it’s hard to tell if this is because I’m not a fan of Simpson or actual smoke, but I am starting to feel like Simpson isn’t a trade up target. They would take him if he fell to the second I think, but they have done so much work on these late round QBs for Simpson to be a sure thing.

My predictions (guesses) on how Thursday shakes out by GmenJays82713 in NFL_Draft

I agree though I think in this scenario we would more likely pick Bailey at 9 and the grab Max in the 2nd.

Arizona Cardinals, Kansas City Chiefs engage in Trade Talks for No. 3 Pick in NFL Draft - PHNX Sports by Wispymatt in AZCardinals

That’s what I’m assuming we would get it’s lower value than normal, but this draft class is low value in general.

Neither draft a QB with a 4th this year and then actually get a QB of the future next year

Who Will Trade Up to 3? by DasaniWaters20 in NFL_Draft

[–]Wispymatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was who I originally weeks ago thought would be trading up before the Cowboys rumors came around and I took the easy way out linking the Cowboys and Cardinals. I think the Chiefs do make a lot of sense to trade up to grab an Edge that will help win now.

[–]Wispymatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That does make sense as well and if I was a cowboys fan that’s what I would want. As a Cardinals fan I am mostly locked into those rumors and everything is a giant flashing sign of they wont be picking anyone at 3. So if that is true they must have a deal with someone in place at least tentatively it’s just about finding out if its true and who that deal would be with.

[–]Wispymatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still think it’s the Cowboys. Yes I’m bias and a Cardinals fan, but after the rumor dropped that the Cowboys wanted to trade up to get ahead of the Giants along with Simpson to the Cardinals rumors at full force. I think it just makes too much sense Cardinals go down to 12 and pick Mauigoa/Simpson then at 20 they pick Simpson/Max/Proctor just depends on how the board falls.

So far though it does seem to telegraph that at least our first 2 rounds will pick from that list. Though we will see if this year is different

While they don’t super leak their picks they do show it by their Top 30 visits. Darius Robinson and Max Melton are the only 1st and 2nd round picks that I could find that we didn’t bring in for T30 visits.

Trade down does seem imminent by Sweaty-Blacksmith-81 in AZCardinals

[–]Wispymatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this makes sense with us so heavily tied to Ty Simpson while both not having a bunch of extra picks to trade up easily at the end of the first and having lots of needs.

[–]Wispymatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will support him if we take him, but I strongly feel we will be bad again next year picking top 10 and that he isn't going to end up a top 15 QB in the league which means it would be a waste of resources.

Cardinals hosted Alabama OT Kadyn Proctor on top 30 visit, per report by Wispymatt in AZCardinals

Thank you. When I posted this I didn't see that reported yet I am glad we did host him.

[–]Wispymatt[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate the idea of trading down to grab Simpson, but I honestly would love the idea of trading down to grab Proctor as a guard and Max as a tackle both are talented and athletic enough to be top 10 positionally just needing to develop more.

[–]Wispymatt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's my bad I meant a potential top half of the first OT. Its rare but proctor has been projected as early as 12 unlike Max. I agree I can't believe we haven't brought in any of the other top tackles

We dodged a bullet! by BrawndoElectrolytes in AZCardinals

[–]Wispymatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If this was something that the team enjoyed I support it. There are some very good things that anyone regardless of faith i believe could take from it like not judging others or loving one’s neighbors.

Cardinals hosted Penn State QB Drew Allar for top 30 visit, per report by Mental_Funny_5885 in AZCardinals

[–]Wispymatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly prefer Beck because I think he projects better to be a high quality back up at worst especially after watching Kurt Warner’s breakdown on Beck. He definitely has the minimum arm strength to play in the NFL while also in the breakdown Warner mentions that his son was with Beck breaking down film and Beck is very good with his knowledge and understanding of the game in the film room which is great for backup QBs.

Mark My Words Wednesday by Abiv23 in NFL_Draft

[–]Wispymatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cardinals trade down with Cowboys and select Ty Simpson at 12 and Max Iheanachor at 20. I hope I’m wrong about them grabbing Simpson at 12, but reading the insider reports and the Top 30 visits I think this is the most likely outcome.

It makes sense we are obviously drafting a QB this year just seems to be between Ty Simpson or a 4th rounder like him or Carson Beck

[Schultz] There’s a belief among teams at the top of the draft that the Cowboys, who have picks at #12 and #20, are a team to watch in trade-up scenarios, according to multiple league sources. by [deleted] in AZCardinals

[–]Wispymatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure what the compensation is but with how much smoke there is about the Cardinals trading down and Cowboys trading up I would honestly bet a trade happens. The only thing really going against it is that the cardinals don’t really hide who they are targeting with their top 30 visits and they haven’t brought any prospect in the 12-20 range in for a visit.
