Exactly!!! I like Higgins  but this is a wr rich draft and Higgins will command a lil coin in this market. Pair Bryce (who has to show improvement) or a new qb next year with a young wr stud. 

We just got rid of our major cap headache and just got a top 2nd round pick. STOP WHILE YOU ARE AHEAD, DAN!  Don't trade for Higgins.  Don't do it, man.

If you are tanking, embrace the tank.  Half measures are EXACTLY how we got to this point!

You have to give Bryce proven weapons and protection, in order to truly evaluate him. You can’t count pick 33 as a proven anything.

No, you don't.  If Bryce is worth anything, he should be able to prove it.  Just shore up the OL and give him some skill players.  They don't have to be top 10 in their position group.

Trading away the draft capital we just acquired would be peak Fitterer.

Precisely.  Would be a monumentally stupid move.  I'm waiting to judge Morgan, but that's a move that we could instantly pan.  Would be awful.

This desire to gets Higgins is mind boggling to me.  He is aight, but I am firmly in the camp of not ever being that blown away and he doesn't really fit what we need.  He is in no way shape or form worth that type of capital.

I mean, Hollywood Brown and a 3rd got the Ravens the 23rd pick.  

Just no.

Don't like it. Pass.  Take a WR at #33 which is essentially a late 1st rounder.

Do you by any chance know our draft history of taking WR's in the 2nd round. Spoiler Alert it's not very good. I'd be ok giving up pick 39 if we were able to get Higgins to sign a fair long term deal but if he's asking for top tier WR 1 money then yea I'm out and would rather roll the dice in the draft.

I'm very aware of our 2nd round draft pick history at WR.  However, it's #33, a new GM and a loaded draft class at WR.  I'll take that over an injury prone dude and the offensive version of the guy we just traded to the Giants.  Again, we ain't winning much next year.  No need in screwing up our future cap for 1-2 more wins in 2024 by signing an overpriced WR.  Signing Higgins isn't worth it.  There will be a solid WR at #33, we just have to pick the right one.

Higgins isn't even a #1 WR. He's a star #2. He's not even in the top 20.

The only way its good is if they take the picks from the Burns trade and he signs a decent deal.

Then we hit on a #1 WR in the draft.

We cant just get Higgins sign him to a massive deal and think we are set at WR.

Just imagine how fast he'll get fed up with Bryce trying to get him the ball. He'll want out after one season.

      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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      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.
