kgarrett12486 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 If AB does end up resigning before the draft now, I would think focus of the draft would ahve to be on the O-line and D line/OLB. Unless one of the premier CB's fell to us at 32... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indifference Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Draft good players next week. If we go CB its because we got lucky and landed a top CB prospect at 32. We know the importance of having quality DB play in Bowles blitz heavy system. Not to mention, having 4 CBs and 2 LBs on the same field would give Bowles more creative blitz packages. So if Newsome is there, wouldnt be mad at it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've just drafted so many the last few years and haven't been able to develop much out of any, that's my only hesitation with drafting more. And I really like Paulsen Adebo. He may slip to 64 or later too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They turned it on in the playoffs, and can make some plays when we're getting pressure on the QB. Need to see more consistency against all offenses throughout the season. CB depth never hurts. I'd still rather get a vet CB free agent or trade though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlton Davis was a top 10 CB last year outside the KC game; in terms of ypa, passes defensed, yards allowed, completion percentage, passer rating against, etc. He does that again in 2021, he's gonna be the highest paid CB in the NFL.

kgarrett12486 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 If AB doesn't return soon, wonder if we look at Fitzgerald. There are rumors... Larry Fitzgerald has talked with Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury, but "nothing has changed" on whether he plans to retire. A free agent for the first time in his career, 37-year-old Fitzgerald has yet to decide if he'll continue playing. The Cardinals look to have moved on, signing A.J. Green to a one-year, $8 million contract this offseason. Arizona also has Christain Kirk and Andy Isabella as returning options in the slot. Fitzgerald remained effective in a scaled back role last year, posting a 54/409/1 line on 72 targets. There's rumors Fitzgerald could reunite with ex-Cardinals coach Bruce Arians in Tampa.

I guess it depends how you look at the stats vs the eye tests. He still gets beat a ton and commits too many Penalties. His athleticism hurts him a bit. When Vea returned, that whole defense played fantastic and didn't exactly need to leave Corners on an island. I'd pay Vita before Carlton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His speed was never more than average for a WR. He's just an elite catch guy. His hands are 2nd to none, will out muscle almost anyone and can out jump/highpoint better than CBs. I'd take him in a heartbeat and he'd likely come pretty cheap. He'd be an awesome leader and addition to the locker room too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, all of our receivers do. Adding Fitz just wouldn't work especially at his age. If he retires, hire him on though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still sign Fitz for his lockeroom presence, but I don’t him have a larger role than say Shady McCoy last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
