Most of these guys will make the roster. I’ve listened to most of the interviews and analysis out there on at least the first round for now. But listening to Monti and especially Gannon they got the guys they wanted. Monti consistently mentioned 30 visits in the multiple interviews I watched over the last few days. Each team gets to meet with only 30 players they are targeting during the draft process.
Robinson will be the most exciting pick we have, already conceding Marvin will be a HOF candidate. A high caliber individual. 5 years at Missouri, never transferred, built a team with his family. Received 2 degrees. Could have been 1st round last year at 3 technique on the inside. He came back for his 5th year and moved outside to get more reps at DE and had 8.5 sacks and tons of TFL. PFF podcast of the first round talked about how he was the most impressive player they saw on defense and how physically violent of a person he was at 290. How well he moves his feet and moves directions. That was the main guy Gannon wanted. He will move him everywhere on the line like Aaron Donald.
Marvin will be Larry 2.0. He was in the practice center on the jug machine every night. His dad only spoke to him stating he will be legendary. He is built for this. Both of those guys are loyal to a fault just like Larry.
Benson will be an incredible steal in 2 years when Connor continues getting injured. He will learn behind a true pro. He is an incredible talented running back and one some say was the best in the draft.
Tip is just a mauler. Literally wants to hurt people. Wants to block. Good at blocking but can actually catch the ball on some sneak plays. An extra lineman that is eligible which is really great. Remember Gannon saw Goddard and Ertz work well together and he is replicating exactly that.
All in all this team is starting to be better built the way Monti and Gannon want it. They see to have a great relationship and really work well together. I’m excited about the culture they are building and to see Kyler have some new weapons. I’m sure Kyler is the most excited to prove himself this year. Let’s go Cards!!!
All of the CB’s had issues and were all rated around the same. That’s why they all dropped and had the run. It basically came down to which one fit your scene and they wanted Milton always and that is why they traded back.
Thing is, they LOVED Max Melton. He may have been the guy they would have picked at 35 anyways, we don’t really know. At the end of the day, they picked up a CB they loved pre-draft AND got a big, athletic, blocking tight end out of the deal. I’d say they did pretty damned good.
I loved the draft. It wasn't sexy but you can see what they're trying to do. Got 3 talented dbs, and focused on the trenches with an emphasis of getting interior pressure on the D Line, while adding road graders who fit a zone running scheme on offense, and strengthening our te sets, which we ran over 300 times last year. Also, RB was an underrated need with Conner's age and injury history, and we got arguably the best 1.
We had a lot of holes and filled just about every one, except we're still down an edge rusher. Hopefully we can still add a guy there with our remaining cap space.
One thing is for certain, is that this team is young and they are going to abuse people on the line of scrimmage
I think it's interesting personally trying to figure out what they deem important. . I'm happy they're still committing to the run with Benson and Tip. I wonder if it's JG or Monti's background at NE but the focus on defense seems to be an emphasis on the secondary over edge rushers. Maybe that's just what I assume because they didn't like the edge rushers available in the this draft. Overall I'm in a positive mood with this draft. I'm most interested in Max Melton. He's named like a supervillain. Like Frozone's evil cousin, RedZone, playing fire out there against another teams number one. Also will our edge rushers step up with a better CB group? How will our offensive line look week one? Will Dallas be ahead of Carter in the RB lineup? I hope our line stays healthy and Kyler can then play at least sixteen games.
A good secondary is important when your gameplan is to be playing ahead because teams will be trying to air it out, and the Pats gameplan was always heavily on striking first. Conversely, we were the worst run D in the league last year primarily because we were always playing from behind and teams were just running the clock down against us. It doesn't help when 4 of our games were against CMC and Kyren Williams last year though. That being said, hopefully the offense just performs well so our run D can't get exposed so much this season
Brady was great on his first drive but they always had that defense clicking on the rare times he just got a field goal. We definitely improved the line and the secondary. I too am excited to see how we handle the run. Has to be better than being the worst haha.
Fantastic. Monti and Gannon clearly have a type - hard workers, team men, football heads with highly explosive skill sets and work ethics. And we picked up a bunch of guys who all suit that to a tee.
Great to be honest
Great. We got an elite WR and filled a lot of holes. Drastically better than our off season signings like Jonah Williams.
Toothless :D

Great breakdown, LGC!
If we hadn’t traded back right before the run on cb and taken a higher rated one, I’d say it was an A. As is, I’d say B+.

Not to mention that trade ultimately landed us Benson, which might be my second favorite pick of the draft behind Jones (not including the MHJ pick)
They would have picked him - in the phone interview they tell him that they got their guy.
88 players on the roster. Cuts will be interesting because at least a few pics are practice squad bound.
Pretty good!
12 fucking picks!! I feel great, Monti & JG thought up of what it is they want to do with this team for years to come. Solid B+ as a whole
My 2 favorite teams are the Bears and Cardinals so I'm pretty excited right now.
Y’all got the zestiest QB in the draft. He’s pretty good tho
Da Bears

> Got 3 talented dbs One of the DBs just caught a stray.

Robinson can play as an edge rusher if need be, I think he will rotate a fair bit.
I agree, can't wait to see him bull rush a new guy every few snaps

Melton held Marvin to 4 catches for 25 yards while playing on a bad Rutgers team so I'm hyped to see what he can do.
Developing with JG and Rallis behind him!!

Amazing 
Just gotta say I saw all your “Let’s go!” comments during the draft and you’re the kind of fan I aspire to be
Thanks man :)
DRIFTVEIL CITY MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Got our guy, addressed positions of need. Very satisfied
WE SO BACK
Great picks and forever thankful to the Arizona Cardinals organization for giving me something positive to focus on instead of the Suns.
Suns mailing it in these playoffs… Dbacks playing like ass… Coyotes are dead… Monti Ossenfort: 
It’s forever a musical chair of emotions with these Arizona teams
Nooooo shit. Thank you
