The question (and I have no idea about the answer, because I don’t study draft boards the way some of you all do) I have is, if the Cards built their strategy around landing Landry Jones with their 2nd round pick, and then he was already gone… are their other QB’s likely to be around at that stage who are worthy of that pick? Or then are we stuck with trying to find a diamond in the rough like with the Skelton and Lindley picks?

I understand your worry about not picking qb, but they can pick Landry up with their second pick. You don’t want to reach on a qb when your picking in the top 5. OL looks good enough now to address other needs and pick BPA.

Understood about Peterson/Brown… but on the other hand, choosing Floyd this year when we have no one to get him, Fitz and Roberts the ball, is looking like a questionable decision. At least at this point.

I respect your opinion about Skelton but it doesn’t really matter. That wasn’t my point. And I’ll argue that Skelton is very capable of “energizing” his teammates. In fact last season a lot of people talked about how he did just that. Even Kevin Spencer talked about it on the radio comparing him to Tim Tebow and how he effected his teammates.

Let’s just agree to disagree.

To Kevin S and others concerned about our not addressing bigger needs at QB or on the OL – I’d hate for us to make the same mistake we made when we passed on a nicked-up Adrian Peterson and addressed a need by drafting Levi Brown instead.

If Teo,really is that good, he’d be hard to ignore.

For Christmas; Brand spankin new coaching staff.

Free agency: Spend some $ on good players this year.

Regarding the draft; we’ll take best available first round (hopefully smash-mouth running back, or shutdown corner). After that, linemen and a dominant tightend.

I see your point trading down, but how can you pass on someone like Te’o? he’s to big a playmaker on D. I think they have close to an all time great Defense. Washington, Te’o, Campbell, Peterson, Dockett. That’s a Ravens type Core that could dominate for a decade. If they get lucky and can pick Mathieu in the 4th too they would be nasty…

You still get Jones by whatever means necessary. I totally agree with you on the RB situation. Lacy is good but would it better to get the Guard there? Then find a RB in the later rounds or chase Stephen Jackson since he’s opted out of his contract? Lacy is really good though so you could still pick him and hope for a decent FA to fill the line spot?

Your ideas are good though too I don’t think the Cards are that far off just picking up Jones will make a big difference.
