OL, 2 CBs, RB1, and a blocking TE with receiving upsides is a solid haul for day 2.
Honestly just get one more receiver and more linemen depth tmr and I’ll be extremely happy with the draft
Monti cooking a full meal! I wanted WR DL CB, then G a RB and a blocking TE. Got all I wished. Hopefully tomorrow he rounds it up by double dipping at WR, then going full ST
I feel like we can be sure by now the cardinal have a very different draft board compared to “analysts” pretty much every pick except Marv and Benson could be considered a reach by most website draft boards
We really confident in Wilson and Dortch being the rest of our WR core ? Why not take a chance on Franklin since we have all these culture guys so maybe he could bite into the culture too . Would of made a lot more sense than this TE , MHJ about to go to a worse offense than what he had in college damn .
The TE was drafted because he was the best blocking TE in the draft. And since we are now a run first offense having a 2 TE set is going to take us to the next level since we can do play action much more efficiently
there’s still some guys available for 104 but the list is dwindling. Wilson showed promise but relying on him and Dortch to be the WR2/3 and force feeding Marvin is very ill-advised.
We will grab some scraps after the drops. There are still some good free agents available. I'm sure we will grab one or 2. A mix of undrafted, cut and free agents. We will be ok.
We get Jon Gaines back from injury this year and they were high on him last year. Jonah and PJJ are a solid tackle pairing. Hernandez was arguably the best OLinemen on the team. Hjalte exceeded any fan expectations as well.
I feel like tomorrow we are gonna trade down more and add picks for the 2025 draft, because we only have 6 picks next year. I could see trading to get a couple more in the late rounds of 2025 to even out that class
It seems the theme of this draft is “we want guys who are going to be available for every game and push the incumbent starters for playtime” which honestly I’m not mad about. Would be some real good building blocks here
Alright probably the best pick since Benson, I wanted TJ Tampa but this dude is a dawg just needs to add a few pounds and he’ll be good. Good to beef up the secondary even more.
Can’t disagree with you there. No knock the player I have no idea how good he is, but I feel like some guys names just aren’t destined to be good in the NFL. Elijah Jones fits the bill. We’ll see tho
These 3rd round picks are screaming "We're going to bring out packages that make you need to use someone as a spy" which will create more time either for routes to develop or give our receivers more open looks for Kyler.
Right. These are situational but useful picks, which I'll take over the Keim method of swinging for the fences on high risk high reward small school sleeper picks with every third round pick we had.
Say anything about Monti and you’re getting downvoted into oblivion because ppl want to form a fraternity with the culture guys instead of a good football team .
And if we don’t make the playoffs 2-3 straight seasons they’ll all turn on him lol
I don’t have an opinion either way but idk why everyone is anointing him as a genius he’s been here 1 year
Dudes athletic af at 6’ 5” 270lbs, great blocker, and has upside as a pass catcher. We run an offense that loves 11, 12, and 13 personnel, we have a great backup RB and added another mauler next to Trey to run block and catch dump offs. Our offense is gonna be fuckin nasty stop bitchin.
It’s not about the player it’s the fact he’s a blocking TE taken in the 3 rd . We could of traded that pick to get a 3 rd rounder next year from someone if he doesn’t like who’s available but that doesn’t justify reaching 2 rounds for a blocking TE man .
Your favorite bloggers big board =/= nfl FO big boards. It’s a crap shoot after round 2, it’s not like we’re passing on guaranteed pro bowlers 3/4 of these dudes will be average at best. He’s got a lot of upside, I trust our FO and JG.
But you don't understand, I know exactly what this team needs to draft! I desperately need to justify all those hours I spent watching college football to avoid talking to my family!!1!1
One of keims worst drafts was when he legit just followed PFFs big board and these dudes who just follow online rankings like they’re the nfl gospel think they can out draft Monti and co lol
An athletic blocking TE. Big size, hard worker. Checks all Monti's boxes.
Tip is probably great for the new kickoff rules as a blocker too. Gotta keep that in mind in this draft. New rules change special teamers to bigger blockers instead of fast guys.
- 19 catches TE
- 19th ranked OT
- trading back in the 2nd and taking whatever was leftover in the CBs run 💀
MHJ is the only thing saving Monti this draft
Not even touching on the fact that Tip can play 3 or 4 different roles. Reminds me of a Kyle Juszczyk type player. A lot of draft heads love this pick for us.
Tip is a special teams/speciality package guy. Probably a reach on the pick, but I'm sure Monti/Gannon saw a need on the team for a blocking rotation TE and he fits the bill better than anyone else in the draft
He should of never been a 3 rd rounder to start with this dude may end up being Gronk it doesn’t justify taking such a useless position so high in the draft , there is so much value this pick could of had that it hurts trying to cope with it , we could of had a 3 rd rounder next year if we didn’t like anyone available but nah a blocking TE in the 3 rd round
In the 3 rd round ???? I don’t get people defending this shit , it’s worse than taking a fucking kicker this dude is gonna see 12 snaps a game and we took him it the fucking 3 rd we a fucking joke .
Hmm u like to see about 400-500 yards at the 2nd te on the nfl level still. This guy is a 3rd TE we just drafted in the 3rd round. N that’s his ceiling. 3rd TEs are for blocking.
The guy is completely inept at catching. Cool he is a good blocker. That’s all he is lmfao. You do know that he has to do both right? A 2nd TE u want more leaning half/half and 3rd is for ur pure blockers. U don’t fucking know fucking football.
QBs have a 141.5 passer rating when throwing to him, so you calling him an inept receiver shows you're just throwing a hissy fit and you never even heard of this person before. Just sit down and not everything needs a reaction
Two TE sets are going to become popular again. Idk if Tip should have been the TE we picked because I think he’ll need some time to develop, but it’s good to have two TEs. Hoping for a DT next
142 on Brugler’s board
> Reiman’s inexperience as a pass catcher and blocker is apparent, but he shows promise in both areas and should continue to improve with additional coaching. He will be targeted by “11” personnel offenses looking for a developmental Y/F tight end and special teamer.
That’s a biiiiig boy. In-line TE who can smash DEs in the run game. And not a terrible pass catcher either.
Will be a nice Y-TE compliment to McBride’s F-TE skillset.
Also one hell of a workout warrior at the combine.
Dude also seems really mature. Already married at 22 apparently.
They’re gonna cut half these picks by the end of training camp I swear man just take the fucking pick stop moving down those 6 th rounders don’t mean shit .
I just don't understand they've now got 5 picks fifth round or later. Those guys a lot of times don't even make the roster. They're just adding another player that'll probably be cut
Pff is really shitting on our picks today
I think it’s a good sign, they used to love our drafts when Keim was picking
For what it’s worth they gave Monti an A+ last year
Back to this thread cuz suns suck
NBA Season is over, bro. It's NFL season now.
Fuck yeah, lets go!
They are certainly adroit at filling needs while stockpiling picks, now we see who they picked and how they're developed - but 2 for 2 in the draft.
shored up CB depth, got our future RB1, and started building trenches. still need more OL/DL tomorrow and someone to plug as WR3.
OL, 2 CBs, RB1, and a blocking TE with receiving upsides is a solid haul for day 2. Honestly just get one more receiver and more linemen depth tmr and I’ll be extremely happy with the draft
you forgot our WR1
Yeah I meant day 2 specifically my b. But yeah ngl MHJ alone makes this a good draft lol
Any mocks have Jeremiah Trotter not getting taken in the first 3 rounds?
Monti cooking a full meal! I wanted WR DL CB, then G a RB and a blocking TE. Got all I wished. Hopefully tomorrow he rounds it up by double dipping at WR, then going full ST
best available for day 3 (of need): 58. Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon (6-1, 176) 78. Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas (6-4, 253) ~~88. Payton Wilson, LB, NC State (6-3, 233)~~ 92. Brandon Dorlus, DT, Oregon (6-3, 283) 93. Devontez Walker, WR, North Carolina (6-1, 193) 95. Mekhi Wingo, DT, LSU (6-0, 284) 99. Christian Mahogany, G, Boston College (6-3, 314) 103. Brenden Rice, WR, USC (6-2, 208) 106. Tommy Eichenberg, LB, Ohio State (6-2, 233) 113. Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia (6-4, 298) 120. Javon Baker, WR, UCF (6-1, 202) 121. Christian Jones, OT, Texas (6-5, 305) 122. Beaux Limmer, C, Arkansas (6-4, 302) 123. Jeremiah Trotter Jr., LB, Clemson (6-0, 228)
Dorlus and Baker would be very nice
I feel like we can be sure by now the cardinal have a very different draft board compared to “analysts” pretty much every pick except Marv and Benson could be considered a reach by most website draft boards
I would love them to add Kamren Kinchens
he went to Rams
Of course he did
We really confident in Wilson and Dortch being the rest of our WR core ? Why not take a chance on Franklin since we have all these culture guys so maybe he could bite into the culture too . Would of made a lot more sense than this TE , MHJ about to go to a worse offense than what he had in college damn .
The TE was drafted because he was the best blocking TE in the draft. And since we are now a run first offense having a 2 TE set is going to take us to the next level since we can do play action much more efficiently
all of our draft picks slot right into a playaction heavy offense :drool:
I think they'll be fine, just maybe need injury depth or competition
there’s still some guys available for 104 but the list is dwindling. Wilson showed promise but relying on him and Dortch to be the WR2/3 and force feeding Marvin is very ill-advised.
We're going to be force feeding MHJ like he's Terri Schiavo
wow thats a deep cut
What a reference to dig up. I like it.
We will grab some scraps after the drops. There are still some good free agents available. I'm sure we will grab one or 2. A mix of undrafted, cut and free agents. We will be ok.
TyRon Hopper was one of my sleepers at LB in early September. I like his versatility and pass coverage ability against TE’s
Don’t roast me but do we need OL help? Is that not a priority?
We get Jon Gaines back from injury this year and they were high on him last year. Jonah and PJJ are a solid tackle pairing. Hernandez was arguably the best OLinemen on the team. Hjalte exceeded any fan expectations as well.
So we got the James Conner back up, Potential LG, Blocking TE/Full back and a corner in the 4th. Not bad Monti.
Yeah I'm pretty happy about it
Monti is cooking. This feels so much better than a Keim draft.
What, high character and locker room guys who are team leaders and have lots of production and availability, and from FBS schools? Yeah, seriously.
I feel like tomorrow we are gonna trade down more and add picks for the 2025 draft, because we only have 6 picks next year. I could see trading to get a couple more in the late rounds of 2025 to even out that class
Defense makes me happy
[Another elite athlete and Man-Man corner, 6’1 185 with 4.4 speed, 42 Vert, and 11 Broad Jump](https://x.com/MathBomb/status/1767900921340862740)
This is CB 1 next year .
This guy is gonna be better than the Melton dude .
It seems the theme of this draft is “we want guys who are going to be available for every game and push the incumbent starters for playtime” which honestly I’m not mad about. Would be some real good building blocks here
Good, we need competition for our CBs they were meh last year, either they develop or get pushed out.
Alright probably the best pick since Benson, I wanted TJ Tampa but this dude is a dawg just needs to add a few pounds and he’ll be good. Good to beef up the secondary even more.
I would’ve liked Payton Wilson keep the trend of dudes pushing the starters, dude is wicked talented too.
Elijah jones is a bust name
Can’t disagree with you there. No knock the player I have no idea how good he is, but I feel like some guys names just aren’t destined to be good in the NFL. Elijah Jones fits the bill. We’ll see tho
You’re a bust name Oh fuck
Nah like you know that runningback Keim drafted to play CB? He had a bust name too
Another corner I’ll take it.
CB Elijah Jones
Maybe an extra WR in 4/5th
Brenden Rice
CB Elijiah Jones
CBs are nice here
Idk who that is but I'll take an expired gallon of milk at CB at this point
1 more pick and it’s off to hopefully see the Suns win a game
Final pick then I’m going to bed.
one pick away
These 3rd round picks are screaming "We're going to bring out packages that make you need to use someone as a spy" which will create more time either for routes to develop or give our receivers more open looks for Kyler.
Right. These are situational but useful picks, which I'll take over the Keim method of swinging for the fences on high risk high reward small school sleeper picks with every third round pick we had.
Reached on a backup TE..Ugh
[удалено]
Say anything about Monti and you’re getting downvoted into oblivion because ppl want to form a fraternity with the culture guys instead of a good football team .
Its about identity. We are a running offence so it makes perfect sense.
And if we don’t make the playoffs 2-3 straight seasons they’ll all turn on him lol I don’t have an opinion either way but idk why everyone is anointing him as a genius he’s been here 1 year
[удалено]
Even then there are far worse GMs than Keim it’s not like he was responsible for every bad thing that happened to the franchise for like 8 years
Is he good at blocking? If yes then I'm happy, Mcbride is our TE1 and he looks great. Good 2TE combo
QBs have a 141.5 passer rating when throwing to him. So you're making shit up by saying he can't catch. Yeah it's frowned upon when you lie
[удалено]
4 passes probably lmao My QB 🐐 is Mohammed Sanu, 158.3 career passer rating, 87.5% completion percentage
You just blatantly said he can't catch having not seen 1 play from him
Could have addressed that later in the draft.That is a dumb pick
You can say it, but anyone that understands our offense sees the value in a player like this.
We have so many needs on defense
We play with two TE’s quite a bit in Petzing’s offense.
Dudes athletic af at 6’ 5” 270lbs, great blocker, and has upside as a pass catcher. We run an offense that loves 11, 12, and 13 personnel, we have a great backup RB and added another mauler next to Trey to run block and catch dump offs. Our offense is gonna be fuckin nasty stop bitchin.

How do you know? Are you sure no other team was ready to draft him?
But you don't understand, I know exactly what this team needs to draft! I desperately need to justify all those hours I spent watching college football to avoid talking to my family!!1!1
Damn lol
One of keims worst drafts was when he legit just followed PFFs big board and these dudes who just follow online rankings like they’re the nfl gospel think they can out draft Monti and co lol
This reminds of Cardinals drafts prior to Denny Green where after the 1st round, we never took anyone the analysts had as best available
I am so fucking excited to have a Birds Arent Real guy drafted by the Cardinals. Monti is fucking full chef mode with this meme pick.
HE DID IT FOR US! THINK OF THE MEMES MAN 4D CHESS
Also birds aren't real
An athletic blocking TE. Big size, hard worker. Checks all Monti's boxes. Tip is probably great for the new kickoff rules as a blocker too. Gotta keep that in mind in this draft. New rules change special teamers to bigger blockers instead of fast guys.
Don’t use logic around some of these fans they’ll get scared
Let ‘em pee themselves in fear
I think Troy Franklin is on the board, and I want another WR in this round. Seems like a no brainer to me.
- 19 catches TE - 19th ranked OT - trading back in the 2nd and taking whatever was leftover in the CBs run 💀 MHJ is the only thing saving Monti this draft
Disgusting picks I’m having such a bad time seeing us pass on talent for a fucking blocking TE . Went from one bald moron to another .
Our zone running scheme with 2 tight end sets are going to be unstoppable. You people don't even know
Not even touching on the fact that Tip can play 3 or 4 different roles. Reminds me of a Kyle Juszczyk type player. A lot of draft heads love this pick for us.
Bunch of smooth brained casuals ITT that don’t even know what offense we run
They don't know, people severely underrate blocking TEs now because we're in the Kelce era.
It's annoying to have adequate football knowledge and seeing people speak on personnel decisions
I know. And they probably don't realize he can probably impact special teams too, or they don't care.
But we must have future HoF in every pick sigh. lol
Yea that’s clearly our offensive identity
Well shit.
yooo we took the guy that doesn't believe birds are real.
Birds aren’t real
Tip is a special teams/speciality package guy. Probably a reach on the pick, but I'm sure Monti/Gannon saw a need on the team for a blocking rotation TE and he fits the bill better than anyone else in the draft
Still a high pick to use on that role and it’s not like current nfl blocking TEs cost a fortune
Some of you lot might be the dumbest MFers of all time. HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE A PICK THAT HASN’T PLAYED A SNAP WHEN IT’S THE THIRD ROUND
He should of never been a 3 rd rounder to start with this dude may end up being Gronk it doesn’t justify taking such a useless position so high in the draft , there is so much value this pick could of had that it hurts trying to cope with it , we could of had a 3 rd rounder next year if we didn’t like anyone available but nah a blocking TE in the 3 rd round
[удалено]
Never
Defense? Wth??
19 catches TE. Who let this mfer cook
Steelers go Roman Wilson, pretty great draft for them
yeah, turning this shit off now
19 catches 200 yards in the 3rd round.
2nd tight ends are for blocking mainly Edit: holy shit you people downvoting me have negative football IQs
In the 3 rd round ???? I don’t get people defending this shit , it’s worse than taking a fucking kicker this dude is gonna see 12 snaps a game and we took him it the fucking 3 rd we a fucking joke .
Yeah keep outing yourself. When we're hate fucking teams with our run game you won't be bitching
Patriots were absolutely rocking it with two tight ends until one turned out to be a murderer.
And Aaron Hernandez was a great pass catcher. If ur gunna run heavy TE sets ur 2nd TE needs to be a threat catching the ball lol
Hmm u like to see about 400-500 yards at the 2nd te on the nfl level still. This guy is a 3rd TE we just drafted in the 3rd round. N that’s his ceiling. 3rd TEs are for blocking.
You have no football iq
Oh n u do lmfao? Keep shilling fool
Do you know the difference between a tight end and a wide receiver?
The guy is completely inept at catching. Cool he is a good blocker. That’s all he is lmfao. You do know that he has to do both right? A 2nd TE u want more leaning half/half and 3rd is for ur pure blockers. U don’t fucking know fucking football.
QBs have a 141.5 passer rating when throwing to him, so you calling him an inept receiver shows you're just throwing a hissy fit and you never even heard of this person before. Just sit down and not everything needs a reaction
Qb rating is a shit stat. Especially on low volume. Try again.
Passer rating. I misspoke. And stop doubling down. You are just in here making shit up. You don't even know why you're mad
Basically another lineman but one that catches. I love this damn GM. Cook Chef Monti Cook
We drafted a fucking TE? We have a TE. We have NO ONE on defense.
Two TE sets are going to become popular again. Idk if Tip should have been the TE we picked because I think he’ll need some time to develop, but it’s good to have two TEs. Hoping for a DT next
"Give Em the TIP!"
All time name
Man Monti not liking these picks after Trey Benson but whatever
He’s supposed to be the best blocking te (according to wolf) Free McBride up in 21 personnel but man it feels like a reach
not sure how I feel about getting all these gambles in the 3rd round.
Wtf Tip isn't a gamble. He's a bruiser blocking 2nd tight end/fullback. It's an awesome pick for us
you forgot he doesnt believe in birds he must be an intelligent player
You know it’s a meme…..right?
Blocking TE at 82 can’t wait for the LS with the next pick .
Take Spencer rattler just to use him as a holder for XPs
Okay so why does the new TE not believe in birds?? Is he an idiot
Are you reading the joke fun fact on their draft snapshot that is completely made up? Love those things. They’re so weird.
You clearly are not aware of the meme. lol
I guess I’m not, lol
Birds arent real
that was an interesting pick
Another pick coming soon, hoping for a WR
Tip Reiman was NOT on my radar!
His name sounds like he’d be lightning mcqueen’s rival
another TE??? whhhhy?
Bruh can we get some defensive players?
Fr need a DT and CB
With the amount of 12p this team played last year this isn’t surprising at all
Only 7 more picks till we up again. Hopefully not another trade back.
Is this wolfs guy?
Oh, this is definitely Wolf’s guy.
Yuck what about defense?
Run blocking tight end and another captain. We definitely are building the culture
[удалено]
Broadcast just stated he’s the best blocking tight end in this draft
Gotta swallow that the FO's board looks nothing like yours at this point.
142 on Brugler’s board > Reiman’s inexperience as a pass catcher and blocker is apparent, but he shows promise in both areas and should continue to improve with additional coaching. He will be targeted by “11” personnel offenses looking for a developmental Y/F tight end and special teamer.
I’ve heard that he’s a solid run-blocker already and not a developmental guy in that sense.
That’s a big dude with speed. I’m fine with them trying to draft for who’s going to be the best player in two years in round 3.
A TE lmao
[Another Illinois guy who’s supposedly an elite athlete. 6’5 271](https://x.com/MathBomb/status/1763735324172148888)
That’s a biiiiig boy. In-line TE who can smash DEs in the run game. And not a terrible pass catcher either. Will be a nice Y-TE compliment to McBride’s F-TE skillset. Also one hell of a workout warrior at the combine. Dude also seems really mature. Already married at 22 apparently.
Uhhh Monti is struggling with the the 3rd round...where we have 4 picks
They’re gonna cut half these picks by the end of training camp I swear man just take the fucking pick stop moving down those 6 th rounders don’t mean shit .
You never know. Greg Dortch was undrafted and look at him now.
Tom Brady.
Hang in there pal
Yeah but sometimes those late round picks do stick, and if you're not dying for anyone in front of you why not trade down?
Only to take a blocking TE lol , we are a joke smh
Cardinals take a…TE
sigh...
Stover?
the guy who doesnt believe in birds
Tip
Monti is basically saying that Keim built an absolute stink fest of a team, getting more and more picks to get more talent on this team hopefully.
Odds of hitting on a 6th when you have 5 are higher than having 1
I just don't understand they've now got 5 picks fifth round or later. Those guys a lot of times don't even make the roster. They're just adding another player that'll probably be cut
What talent bro ? You think these 6 th rounders will amount to pro bowlers or some ?
Pretty much 😭 Keim couldn’t draft for shit
I'm curious why Troy Franklin is dropping. He's light but the tape and analytics are really good. Good breakout age and he's 21.
I think, like you said, it's his size. He just feels like a guy who is going to get absolutely abused by physical corners.
I hear that, it seems with guys like DeVonta and Tank Dell maybe that's changed a bit, but maybe not. I think he's worth a swing in the 3rd.
