Per MMQB, the Cardinals only began to legitimately shop Rosen minutes before the draft's 8 p.m. ET start time. And they were hard-line on wanting a first-round pick, something that no team would give up.
Minutes before? They had fucking months to try and deal him.
Not unless they wanted to show their hand for the first pick. Few do.Originally Posted by Sir Andy Mahowry
I think everyone has known their hand for the last month at least.
GMs are super paranoid though. Even if they can only sow the tiniest shred of doubt they'll frequently do it.
I legitimately don't understand the upside of doing this.
Rosen cost them a 1st, a 3rd and a 5th last year. Throw in the 1st they spent on Murray and even getting a second back is terrible business, and that’s ignoring the millions they paid out to Bradford and Glennon.
Next round starts at 11 right?
Man, that special piece on Dalton Reisner is something.
Seems to be a legitimately brilliant guy. Hope he gets drafted early tonight and has a long career.
Yeah, they were bad. Probably why most big receivers don't actually run them. Everything else was on Calvin Johnson's level though.
If teams use him correctly he could be an absolute monster - easily the highest ceiling WR in the class - but if he gets drafted to a bad situation where he's expected to do things he doesn't excel at it'll be much harder for him.
I was hoping for him to the Raiders yesterday, so I'll carry that over to their early second rounder. Or you can let him slip all the way to New Orleans if you like
Dude is probably the most universally loved prospect in the class. He'd be a great option for Arizona considering they need an entire O-line. Hopefully he goes early today.
I might bet on him to be Walter Payton Man of the Year in his rookie year.
What a guy.
Goddell should just walk around Nashville with Eddie George and Tim McGraw constantly.
Probably the best reception that 'he' has ever had.
Sounds like Byron Murphy to the Cardinals. I'm watching BR today so I have no idea how early they're tipping picks, but they're already recording their reaction video so it seems pretty certain.
Here's the link if anyone wants to watch. Did BR last year too & their coverage is pretty solid.
Might go for the TDN stream tomorrow to complete the set.

Two great picks to start the day.
Woof.
Jags with Josh Allen and Jawaan Taylor.
What a duo they've picked up.
Toggle Spoiler
Do people want me to spoiler ahead of the picks being announced?
Realised I hadn't caught up yet from pausing before the draft starts so I was a minute behind the stream
Jawaan was my pick for them in the first round, so this is like the year they got Jalen Ramsey & Myles Jack, which turned out pretty well.
We're fucking ahead of you by these posts.
I'm ahead now. Skipped to catch up on BR & opened the NFL stream to compare.

Greedy Williams > Bunting.
Interesting one from Tampa. Bunting is decent (I'd have had him in the 50-100 range), but clearly Greedy has pissed off a lot of people to get passed up for all these guys.
Speaking of which...

Awful pick.
It's your boy
Risner
Should be their RT, but he can play center too, and they did just lose Matt Paradis...
Two picks in a row for Denver...
Toggle Spoiler
Disrespecting the fuck outta Joe.
WOOOOOW
I like the kid, but I had him as a day three guy. Dane Brugler loves him though, if I remember rightly. He'll be a great special teams guy & considering they're basically the Patriots they'll find a role for him to be successful.

Packers working their way through their needs here - Elgton Jenkins is a solid C/G & GB needs some iOL help.
Patriots pick is in...
Toggle Spoiler
I saw some outlets mock him to the Ravens at 22 so good value as well.
Yeah, it's pretty solid value. Another guy I'd put in the 50-100 bucket.
I wonder why Greedy is slipping.
Oh shit Cleveland running wild
Toggle Spoiler
This isn't going to help their SuperBowl odds.
Not for much longer...
Fuck, he had to come to our fucking division.
Ward and Greedy is fucking nasty.
Jim Brown isn't looking so good :\
He can't have much left in his tank.
Someone should tell Jim Brown what year it is
We've traded up with Miami
Marquise Blair is a good old Seattle pick. They just seem to have a completely different draft board to everyone else. Good player, but another guy who's probably a round ahead of where he should be.

Dolphins trading down to get some more capital to sweeten the pot for Rosen?
Fuck the Saints.
He was never going to drop to us in the third round but still. FUCK YOU.
OH YES I LIKE THAT ONE
I'd have fallen off my chair if we'd have taken DK, but Erik McCoy should immediately be our new starting center, and we now have depth at O-line again.
It'd be great if we could stop giving away premium picks for the following year, mind. Surely we didn't need to throw in a 2020 second rounder to move up 15 spots?

Colts just loading up on second round edge rushers the last two drafts - Tyqwan Lewis & Kemoko Turay last year, now Banogu.
Vikings having a nice draft so far.
Knew that was coming.
I like AJ a lot.
Nice pick for the Titans. Surprised Miami haven't made the move for Rosen yet.
Didn't expect Sample so early - had him as a day three guy.
Drew Sample?
Can he even catch?
You can scoop blocking TE's out of a bucket.
