If you are gonna spend 25 million on Tee Higgins . You better trade for Justin Jefferson. Nuff said

Free Agent Criteria - Around Age 27 or younger with some upside still - - #1 Priority Target - LG Michael Onwenu, Pats or Ezra Cleveland LG, Jags
- DL - Baltimore Ravens DI Justin Madubuike or Tennessee Titans DI Teair Tart or Javon Kinlaw (former 1st rounder starting to play much better in 2023), 49ers
- CB - Jaylon Johnson Bears (will be expensive and he could get "money-whipped")
- 49ers LB Oren Burks - PFF: 78.5
- RESIGN - LJ Collier & Carlos Watkins DL
- ?? Hollywood Brown - I need to see some of that old chemistry in remaining games between KM1 and his BFF ... this was not evident vs. the Falcons. JV podcast discussed how H-Brown and KM1 stayed after practice to work on some routes. If chemistry is shown, then bringing back Hollywood at a reasonable solid WR#2 $$ is worthwhile; however if this chemistry is not shown on the field it will only bolster my contention since 2020 that KM1 cannot see the shorter receivers.
- Trade possibilities - I would poke around the moronic Carolina Panthers to see if I could "steal" DL Derrick Brown or CB Jaycee Horn.
NOTE: Zach Seiler already signed with Dolphins for a little more than $10M/APY so he is not available as a FA. Draft: Round #1 - A. MHJ or FSU Coleman WR (I would not go get Tee Higgins @ $25M on cap - same height, get younger, uber-talented, MUCH cheaper talent) B. BYU’s Kingsley Suamataia or Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia or Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, Penn State or J.C. Latham, OT, Alabama Round #2 - Oregon DT Brandon Dorlus Round #3 - A.

Layden Robinson, G, Texas A&M or Donovan Jackson G Ohio State or Cooper Beebe G, Kansas State NOTE about Quinyon Mitchell - From PFF: "Mitchell is a name that many college football fans may not yet be familiar with, but he’s firmly on the radar for NFL teams after he earned the best grade in the FBS among 907 cornerbacks in 2022 with a 92.5 mark. So far this season, Mitchell’s 85.1 grade ranks 11th, his seven forced incompletions is tied for third and he is a very sound tackler in space with an 81.6 run-defense grade." Top of Round#4 - Carson Steele, RB, UCLA or Trey Benson, RB, Florida State or Montrell Johnson, RB, Florida or Kendall Milton RB, Georgia

Our 2024 current roster analysis: I’ve listed free agency year, age, some relevant PFF scores, potential cap savings and other info. Offense: QB1 Kyler, free agent 2029, age 26 QB2 Tune, free agent 2027, age 24 RB1 Conner, free agent 2025, age 28, PFF 82.7! RB2 Demercado, 2026, 24, PFF 72.3 RB3 Ingram, 2026, 24, PFF 64.7 WR1 Wilson, 2027, 23, PFF 69.9 WR2 Moore, 2025, 23, PFF 53.4 (Brown???)WR3 Pascal, 2024, 29, PFF 50.1, $1.92 million cap savings if cut WR Higgins, 2027, 23 TE1 McBride, 2026, 24, PFF 79.6 TE2 Ertz, 2024, 33, PFF 50.8, $7.55 or $10 million if cut/traded pre or post June 1 TE3 Whiteheart, 2025, 23 LT Humphries, 2025, 30, PFF 53.4, save $9 or $16 million if cut/traded, penalty/health RT Paris Johnson Jr, 2027, 22, PFF 52.5, still just a giant baby! T Beachum, 2025, 34, PFF 65 C1 Froholdt, 2025, 27, PFF 56.3 C Kramer, 2026, 25 LG Hernandez, PFF 64.4 2025, 28 (likely RG but LG rn) RG Daley, 2025, 27, PFF 42.5 G Gaines, 2027, 24 (likely LG once healthy?) A quick look suggests a better QB2, a legit WR1, and spots on the entire Oline should be addressed. Ertz may not be the TE2 we want to go with at that price. Same for Hump but I’d keep a 30 yr old experienced LT. Big decision on re-signing Hollywood Brown…only at WR2 money for me. I’d love a legit, tall WR1 plus Wilson and Hollywood as a shifty and speedy CB 2/3 would work. We have 2 young RB’s but need to plan beyond Conner with his age and upcoming free agency after 2024. We need guards and a legit center. Defense: DT Lopez, 2025, 26, PFF 64.6 DE Stills, 2027, 24, PFF 65.5 Edge Gardeck, 2025, 29, PFF 77 Edge Collins, 2025, 24, PFF 75 Edge Ojulari, 2027, 21, PFF 69.9, just starting to shine Edge Cam Thomas, 2026, 23, PFF 60 Edge Dimukeje, 2025, 24, PFF 71.5 LB White, 2025, 27, PFF 59.4 LB Pappoe, 2027, 23 CB1 Garrett Williams, 2027, 22, PFF 67.8 CB Wilson, 2025, 24, PFF 45.6, can’t be a starter, young depth CB Clark, 2027, 22, PFF 47.4, showed promise then fell CB Thomas V, 2026, 23, 55.7 CB McMichael, 2025, 23 S Baker, 2025, 27, PFF 72.9, $14.6 million if cut/traded S Thompson, 2026, 25, PFF 69.2 S Chachere, 2025, 27, PFF 64.3 S Blount S Knight I’d like to draw attention to age of the defense and number of edge/OLB, CB and safeties. These are the young guys brought in FA and draft to compete. The OLB room looks surprising solid. We clearly need Dline and everyone knows it. We have to decide if Budda is worth the money and then a new contract. LB is a need and CB desperately needs a solid vet imo. I’m impressed by what they’ve done with this young group of mostly nobodies. Excited about CB Williams, OLB Ojulari, and possibly even Stills. What about WR Brown and his values? I was doing some thread digging and WR comparisons, and did not Brown listed above.

What I don’t like is he’s been the 15th most targeted WR but only 38th in receiving yards to show for it. I didn’t list him because I only listed players we have under contract for 2024. Brown is a free agent, so should be compared value vs cost like any other free agent WR.

According to OTC the Cards have 40 players under contract thru 2024 and $65M in space (Still have $9M in dead cap with Watt and Hudson the big hits in 2024…the gifts of SK that keep on giving) Cards have 13 more players to fill the 53 man roster. I would anticipate 1-3 players cut or traded and the figure of 13-15 roster positions to fill. So 1-3 FAs and 12 draft picks.
At IDL the Cards only have Stills and Lopez under contract. That leaves 4 more IDL to get to a 6 man rotation. If Cam Thomas is kept he will need to put a few pounds on to move to interior. That leave at least 3 more players needed.

I like Dorlus or Landondon Jackson as big edge players in the 2nd. a sneeky good player who should slide in the draft is ILB Jestin Jacobs at 6’4” and 245 LBs had a injury that made him miss several games to start 2023. Played ILB with Captian Jack at Iowa who Deroit drafted and he has been money in the NFL. Jestin transferred to Oregon and should be availible in 5th to 6th round.

Another DL FA is Rams Michael Hoecht he currently is playing about 85% of the snaps and handling it…he has 3 sacks and a forced fumble. He moved to OLB at 6’4” and 310 LBs he can drop in coverage if needed. High motor and smart and durable.

Brand new article out today from PFF on Risers/Fallers for the College Football draft: PFF Risers/Fallers this Season
NOTE: Interesting that WF today has their own stock/up down article [BTW: Drake Maye was a Stock DOWN] and Brian Thomas WR LSU also made it on that list ... another tall receiver. Also CB Mitchell which I listed above may not be as big of a sleeper as I was hoping as he makes the list. Here is the WF's writeup on Brian Thomas WR LSU -While Malik Nabers is the No. 1 receiver for the Tigers, Thomas has the more talented skill set for the NFL. At 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, Thomas possesses mismatch size while also retaining some serious speed. He has the skill set of a No. 1 receiver for the next level and could be an outside starter who stretches defenses vertically. Thomas could be a first-round pick if he enters the 2024 NFL Draft. My other observation is .. can Jayden Daniels be this draft's meteoric rise QB and get in top 5 ? He is getting a lot of notice over the last few weeks in various football draft websites.

As far as the draft goes and last year was a good start for Monte we have to hope that the scouting department does their due diligence and makes pics based on actual ability and potential ability rather than someone who looks good in shorts.
I've been doing a lot of thinking about what successful teams have done throughout the history of the NFL and the Cardinals roster is quite a ways away from being the perfect NFL roster. So what's the next step?
The big key still remains what happens with Kyler Murray the rest of this season. If he plays well there's absolutely no way the Cardinals are moving on from him. Drafting a rookie quarterback means you're doing a complete reboot and I just don't think they're going to do that. So if Tyler Murray is going to be your quarterback going forward did the number one priority still has to be the offensive line. No matter what. As I look back upon the history of the NFL many very successful teams only had one outstanding wide receiver but those teams almost always had an outstanding tight end. With the continue development of McBride as far as the offensive goes the only things I would be concerned about would be upgrading the interior offensive line, a true number one wide receiver. I'm not too concerned about a backup running back or a backup quarterback or receivers three through seven. Veteran backup quarterbacks can be signed fairly cheaply. Back up running backs are also fairly cheap or can be drafted in later rounds in the draft. In my humble opinion in my perfect world the Cardinals will draft Harrison Jr if he is available when the Cardinals pick in the first round, trade down with our second first round pick and take the best interior offensive lineman in the draft and use additional pics gained in that trade to bolster the defense. I think that if Wilson can get healthy then himself and Greg George can be the number two and number three receivers.
Free agency. I absolutely do not want the Cardinals to spend $20 million a year signing a wide receiver. Again in my personal humble opinion the majority of the Cardinals free agent money should be spent rebuilding the lines. And I will be absolutely furious if they do not land one near All pro level interior offensive lineman during free agency. After that I would Target a giant run stuffing defensive tackle which it has been decades since the Cardinals have had the player like that and the Cardinals must acquire one if not more cornerbacks in free agency.
I'm very excited about what Monty will do this year. He didn't have many bullets to fire during free agency last year but at least during the Steve even though he had success with free agents not many of them really stayed around for more than a year or two and he did sign lots of aging players.

What about WR Brown and his values? I was doing some thread digging and WR comparisons, and did not Brown listed above. Hollywood has a solid but not great 68.5 PFF score. What I don’t like is he’s been the 15th most targeted WR but only 38th in receiving yards to show for it. I didn’t list him because I only listed players we have under contract for 2024. Brown is a free agent, so should be compared value vs cost like any other free agent WR. Thanks for the explanation about Brown not being on the list. There's no way he is re-signed for 2024 w/ out a substantial pay cut.
