Re-sign: J Phillips, Blankenship, Fred Johnson, Toth, Sam Howell

Trades: McKee + a 4th to Arizona for MHJ (New regime coming in, Kyler Murry will get traded, Michael Wilson broke out, MHJ has struggled with AZ...good buy low on potential). AJ Brown gets dealt to either Buffalo or NE for a 2nd and a 4th.

Draft:

Round 1 - OT Monroe Freeling, Georgia

Round 2 - CB Julian Neal, Arkansas

Round 2 - IOL - Chase Bisontis, Texas A&M

Round 3 - TE Sam Roush, Stanford

Round 3 - Edge Malachi Lawrence, UCF

Round 4 - WR Malachi Fields, Notre Dame

Round 4 - S Bishop Fitzgerald, USC

Round 5 - LB Lander Barton, Utah

Round 5 - DT Demonte Capehart, Clemson

1st stab, very early on...certainly things will change as we get deeper into the draft process.

Eagleaddict - good succinct read. i haven't mastered that art myself so hats off to you. Thanks.

Do you really tink the CArdinals will give up on Marvin Harrison Jr. That wold be a great deal and imagine if AJ was still here. That receiving trio would be dynomite.

Very reasonable group of re-signed players. Probably fits into our cap situation.

Interesting draft - sme names that haven't popped up on the board before.

Freeling - I haven't seen him rated as a 1st round pick before, but he has the size at 6'7" and he's a Georgia player so it's not unrealistic

Bisontis - i like the pick and would take him here also. This is where he is on the ratings window

Neal - again, about a round higher than the ratings I've seen, but CB is a huge need

Roush - Rating are all over the board, but I think Stanford's overall ineptness has something to do with it. At 260 he's sure be a blocking upgrade

Lawrence - another fit. Checks all the boxes - positional need, size, and where he's expected to be picked.

Fitzferald - another new name for the board. Ratings vary fro 4 to UDFA. Maybe the USC rsults hurt him.

Barton - good pick. Nice fit

Capehart - the only pick I quiblbe with. We're set at DT. A WR3 is still needed and so it QB3

Thanks for the read !

Thanks man. Just did a little preliminary research...I'm sure I have players over or under rated...just found that I like these guys and they appear to be fits for us.

Have no idea about MHJ...purely just a thought. He has struggled in Arizona and with Wilson breaking out, MHJ could be expendable with the new regime AND they need a QB.

Of the draft players, the ones I initially like the most are Freeling and Roush. Stanford has produced some good TEs.
