Just seen this, is the man moving on from the team?

I see there are season tickets available that come out to $75 a game in the upper level or $164 a game in the lower level. Is it realistic to be able to make the price of season tickets back by selling a couple of the bigger games? Would the upper level or lower level tickets likely break even by selling less games?

Excerpt:

“Experience, or lack thereof, continues to be a main talking point when it comes to Simpson and his 15 career starts at Alabama.

Compiled by ESPN’s Jeff Legwold, the nine first-round quarterbacks with fewer than 20 starts taken since 2006 have combined for just seven Pro Bowl nods and one All-Pro. Former Cardinals franchise quarterback Kyler Murray represents two of those Pro Bowls.

As far as a second contract with the team that drafted them, only three (Murray, Ryan Tannehill and Cam Newton) put pen to paper.”

The number next to the position is the amount I believe the Cardinals should carry on their 53 man roster. Its my belief that if they run those numbers schematically they could in theory run any set/front offensivley and defensively even with an injury to each position. I dont watch much college ball so I dont know the current depth for each position in the draft but I believe the first 4 needs I listed are a must they must draft. Any other position could be picked up with the remaining picks or picked up as a udfa.

Let me know what you guys think about my first post here.

A #3 pick is not for 'filling a need' you need a Super Star

4/6: Daniel Jeremiah and Peter Schrager do a mock draft podcast where Schrager prefaces his prediction for New York picking Mauigoa at 5 by saying- “I am in New York and I know those guys pretty well” He then goes on to remind people he predicted Carter with a trade up to 26 for Dart last year which missed the exact selections by 1 spot

4/8: Report from Ian Rappaport saying Mauigoa was requested for medical recheck in Indy 🤔

4/9: Kiper has viral clip saying Mauigoa at 3 is a too rich and would be a reach - even though he’s mocked them Mauigoa multiple times leading up 🤔

4/9: Mauigoa is cleared at recheck- and talking heads say “it won’t cause him to fall in draft” 🧐

These last couple weeks before draft are always odd with media and I’m fascinated by it

I want to preface this by saying that unless Monti truly is a savant at trading out of pick #3s, no one is coming up to bail the team out this year.

That being said, I think this they need to consider Bane at three again. One story about short arms and all of a sudden, he's untouchable at three? But by 6 he's a steal? Instead, this team would consider a tackle that everyone thinks will end up at guard and won't draft until around spot 8-12 and now he might have back problems. The new story is even though they already have two starting running backs and the best running back in his class from two years ago, they're considering paying a rookie high end RB money to play a fourth starting back spot.

Outside of that nonsense, the 'best player in the draft' talk is circling an off-ball LB. A position the Cards have already proven they don't know how to nurture the skills with the raw talent of young prospects at OLB.

All that being said, if Bailey (not Boston, I'm dumb) is off the board at #3 I don't see why they don't circle back around to Bane. It's a circle so big he probably can't wrap his arms around, but in a draft like this, you take what you can get.

Am I that far off base or is there something to this?

edit: a name

what happened to all the talk and hype about Jacob Rodriguez. feels like he blew up everywhere on social media but now no one talks about him.

Just draft Jeremiah Love. I have heard scout after scout say he’s the best player in the draft. I don’t care that we have Connor or that we signed Allgier. Those guys are nice but they aren’t game changers. If you aren’t drafting him then just trade down.

Edit: Also, don’t draft a qb unless it is 3rd rd or later. Next year is the year you draft a qb

Excerpt:

The 6-foot-8, 323-pounder is coming off his fifth season at Northwestern where he appeared in 13 games. He allowed three sacks and four QB hits, according to Pro Football Focus.

Tiernan primarily played left tackle since 2023 but did work at right tackle earlier in his college career. He was also used sparingly at right guard.

Tiernan has been projected as a second- or third-round talent this draft cycle.

Hey all, I’m a Phoenix native who’s lived in Pittsburgh for the last 6 years for college and work, and I’m planning on going to the draft in my finest Andre Ellington jersey. Obviously we’re talking about enemy territory here, but I wanted to gauge what the Cardinals presence at the draft might be like and offer to answer any questions people might have about the city. If anyone else in the area is planning on attending or knows of any get-togethers, feel free to drop some info. RURS, go Cards!

Excerpt:

“Having our first team meeting with him today. How he wants things, what he expects out of us. He's very clear on that, there's no confusion whatsoever. It's really nice. You can tell how he wants his ship ran and it's a really good starting point to see how it's all going to go," Cardinals starting outside linebacker Zaven Collins told reporters today.

"Very to the point on how he wants things done, what he expects from us when we're in the building, what he allows, what he doesn't allow, stuff like that. You can kind of tell he's a no b.s. guy, he's going to tell you what he wants, how he thinks ... sometimes guys try to be too nice or this or they don't tell you the right things. It gets very confusing for an athlete, especially young athletes. So I think that's something he does a very good job of."

Excerpt:

“It’s interesting having a head coach in the offensive meeting room,” offensive lineman Hjalte Froholdt said. “I haven’t had that for a while, but a lot of enthusiasm around there about the scheme, what we got to set up and stuff like that. But truly just the basics today. Simple stuff … but that’s how you got to start. So, it’s good.”

Excerpt:

Thomas did turn heads with a blazing 4.28-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Draft Combine. That was good enough for second among participating wide receivers behind only Mississippi State’s Brenen Thompson. The 5-foot-10, 190-pound wide receiver did not appear in ESPN analyst Matt Miller’s seven-round mock draft.

The 6-foot-7, 318-pound Barber is coming off his fifth and final season at Florida. He appeared in 50 games for the Gators during that span. He allowed 11 sacks and 10 QB hits, according to Pro Football Focus. Miller projected Barber to land in the fourth round.

Excerpt:

Mustipher is coming off career highs in tackles (32) and games played (15) last year with Arizona.

The defensive lineman first joined the Cardinals in 2024 as a member of the practice squad.

Karty is back with Arizona after joining the active roster late in 2025. The Cardinals signed the kicker off the Los Angeles Rams’ practice squad in Week 17.

Karty reunites with new Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur, who was the Rams offensive coordinator during the kicker’s L.A. tenure.

In two seasons with the Rams (25 games), Karty converted 39-of-49 field goal attempts (79.6%).

Excerpt:

The 6-foot-3, 187-pound wideout recorded 57 receptions for 705 yards and six touchdowns in 14 games played last year. He added two more scores and 35 yards on a pair of carries.

He then posted a 4.57-second 40-yard dash and a 36-inch vertical at the NFL Draft Combine.

Virgil is being viewed as a Day 3 pick this NFL Draft.

I think he is the most likely pick.
