If and it's a really big if the Cardinals can stay relatively injury free then I predict they win 11 or 12 games and possibly win the division. I feel that the rams, the niners and the Seahawks of all lost a step and for once it appeared that for the most part the Cardinals drafted players that should make an impact and filled positions of need without reaching outrageously for any of the guys. Some of you of course will laugh at this prediction as is your right but I still fall back on the year that the Cardinals were eight and all and had the Packers beat if not for an AJ Green brain dead moment. Under the right conditions the little dude is nearly unstoppable. If I were coach Gannon I would strongly suggest to Murray that he get together with his receivers and tight ends and the rookie running back as soon as possible. I would also strongly suggest to Murray that he should be taking at least 5,000 snaps under center on his own before training even starts Nice to see a positive momentum building. I agree, it would be surprising to see more than six to seven losses in the regular season. You are definitely one of the first to post such a claim. I have a feeling many more may go where you are boldly going. Not a bad thing to be seeing in the red sea. |

I see a winning season. I don't see a playoff run this season...
If Garrett Williams, Michael Wilson, B.J. Ojulari equal what they did last season...I see us winning 9 games considering the players we drafted this season...
However, if just those 3 step it up more this season...I can possibly see a 10 to 11 game win season...
Keep in mind that we lost 5 games by 7 points or less last season...I see our current roster as being able to win those kind of games this season...we have a lot more offensive firepower than last season. The Rookies that played last season are going to have a season of experience under their belt...Murray has the off season and Pre Season to work with our WR/TE Corp...we took the 3rd RB off the board...I hope he is good enough to fill in for Connor should he go down...our back up RB's sucked last season...J.G and Rallis need to get more out of our LB Corp, that will elevate our defense immediately...Paris will have one year of experience, that is a great thing....
I think what we don't see is that J.G. will really help Rallis improve the Defense this season. Don't forget that last season was entering his first season as a Head Coach...and I am sure it was really overwhelming...hopefully he was able to learn how to handle certain situations and should have more time to work with Rallis on improving the defense...hey...he drafted 3 CB's...that tells me he knows he needed to address the CB Corp...
Our Grades were: Day 1: A Day 2: B Day 3: A
Total Grade for Draft: A-
We not only think we had a great draft...but obviously so do others....
Even though I am not predicting a playoff run this season...I would not be surprised if we do...we all have to remember the Division we are in...were we in a different division...I would think there might be a chance for a playoff run...The Rams and 49er's have recently been to Super Bowls. All of our NFC West opponents have made the playoffs recently...wasn't our last playoff appearance in 2016? The one good thing about playing in our division is that we become a much better team....

Don't really want to be picking this early again. something tells me this class is gonna be productive hard to say how much my biggest fear is if KM can't stay healthy or backups but I have no reason to believe he can't be productive and produce a contender eventually I am hoping he get's it done. I really don't like trying to get Qb's you have to suck in most case's to get one. I think we will be good enough though if we need a Quaterback we are gonna have to pay a lot in picks for one because I think this team will win enough that we have to trade up. |

I see the offense but just don’t see the defense. I DO think the defense should improve. In the draft, we added a legit first round rookie at one of our biggest weaknesses with Robinson, added a CB who could be a starter some time in year 1, and DB’s to compete over remaining backfield spots. In FA, we added a decent CB, a good LB, and a bunch of interior Dline to compete, one of which is a legit starter. We didn’t lose anything defensively in FA. So a better D, but we were near the bottom last year. Now I’m hoping 15th-20th. That would be a huge improvement. Because of the defense, and still questionable Oline, I see us as a 8-10 win team. I think both lines will be better. I think this dline will stop us from being gashed like last year in the run game and hopefully we can get offenses off the field. I am gonna say it the oline is better and we were a top 5 rushing offense last year now I hope we keep running the ball and now add a passing attack. I think Trey is gonna greatly benefit from Harrison and teams I think will have three guy's that can hurt them in the passing game from our offense but I can't forget Dorch. I think we have good coaching and the team if it has the tenacity of last yer watch out. |

I will say I’m finding myself in the weird position, considering we just drafted Marvin Maserati Harrison Jr, where I’m more pumped about seeing what this draft does for our run game. Add Benson and a ridiculously strong and athletic blocking TE, a hopefully healthy Gaines and the new rookie G, and Paris’ sophomore year along with Kyler being more comfortable under center. With MHJ and McBride out there, is the defense going to risk stacking the line against the run? As I’ve said, I still think our defense will be a weak link, though it should be slightly better at every level. Depth is also still an issue. As always, pray for season long health. |

A bit different than some have doubted in the past...K1 is preparing for under the center reps along with play action. K1 may becoming the little Thomas that can. I would like to see KM take the overwhelming majority of snaps from under Center in 2024. Him taking snaps in the Gun should be the exception. If km is as fast as he thinks he is, then the Center also needs to work faster coming out of his set on RPOs. |

IMO the Cards are still far apart from being a playoff team. I think 6-8 wins next year is the best they could do. Alot of young talent to infuse and the defense is still pretty bad. Going to take another draft at least to get that situated.

The Cardinals last playoffs appearance was January 27, 2022. The Cardinals played the Rams in Los Angeles. Final score: Rams 34, Cardinals 11. The game killer was Rams defender Long making a 3-yard INT off Murray for a TD. That short INT/TD was an NFL playoffs record, I believe. |

I think we just added guy's to the dline that can rush the Qb and and enough D tackles to stuff the run not to mention both pass rushers can help there. I think this D is gonna be much better then last year and I think the offense was without Hollywood now we have a weapon on the offense to help out I can see this team this years surprise. Is it a surprise though they made most teams earn their win last year. If this team has that tenacity watch out this could be the Houston Texans part two. I love the pass rusher This thread was started over but Darious Robinson to yeah might be much better then you think this D. p.s. Free agency guy's we added I think a lot of you will be surprised. I have been digging in on the free agency guy's and the rookies man I like it. |

Keys this year:
1. Defense: Not losing Starters to injuries by game 3-6! Not having to play 3rd string & PS players on the D-line and back up LBs for rest of season.
2. Offense: Having a Much better WR/TE corp for the whole season And a healthy QB for the whole season
IF these 2 objectives can be achieved and maintained this could be a 9+ win team.
EDIT: Hope Springs Eternal!
