1 first
2 seconds
DJ Moore


That's not a lot to give up for the #1 pick. WRs are easier to get than QBs. We have messed around with the QB situation for years and it hasn't worked. Now we have OUR choice. Not whoever is left over. We control this draft. 

I would have expected to give up more to get to #1 from #9.

Casual fans who don’t consider the pick swap say we gave up two 1sts. Then there is a discrepancy on how DJ is valued.

It’s way too early to be drawing conclusions about that. We basically gave up one first, two seconds (the lower of our two), and a receiver who isn’t a game changer. 
 

The other option was continuing to sign overpriced vets and hoping we finally break through or rolling with Corral or whoever was available at 9 and hoping for the best.

This was the right time to make the move. The other route would be more of the same that we’ve been doing since before and after the Cam era and for most of this team’s history.

There are folks who believe DJ Moore isn’t a true #1. If they are correct then we haven’t had a true #1 since prime Steve Smith. Maybe finding receivers is easier than finding a QB but for our organization we’ve sucked at finding both. 
 

A first, two seconds, and a player worthy of additional firsts or seconds is a fair trade to move up 8 spots.

To be fair we haven't had a lot of coaches that were good at developing young talent

It's not that much, especially since we'll be getting the top QB in the draft according to Frank Reich, Jim Caldwell, Josh McCown, Thomas Brown, etc. I'm sure Evero and Capers will also have some input on the matter as well.

I'm sure that this coaching staff and front office wouldn't have made that offer unless they thought there was someone in this draft who was special and could be built around and could make the most of every opportunity and personnel situation he's given.

It was less than I expected. Still not anything to overlook.

 

Heard somewhere that the multiple picks each year were more desirable to them than more picks over more years or something like that

I thought it was 2 first + DJ?

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option s a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The patter it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.

      Dude, I'm saying the Cardinals have proven they know nothing. Not saying keeping Bryce is the best choice long term, just saying that we've made the right move for this moment in time.  But man, the Cardinals are never a blueprint for success. Haven't been since they were in Chicago.
