From Robert V:
"What should the Cardinals do with the third pick? Mendoza is a lock at No. 1 and deserves it. Who, in this year's draft, is worth the third pick? I think Ty Simpson would be a stretch at 3. I am hoping that the Cardinals trade down to 5 through 12, if possible, and build draft capital for next year (like quarterbacks Dante Moore and Arch Manning.) Perhaps a trade with Washington for the number 7 pick as they might be interested in Jeremiyah Love. I would love to see the Cardinals get David Bailey, Sonny Styles, Ruben Bain or Francis Mauigoa. I love Taylen Green in the fifth round as a project. His footwork and decision making needs some improvement, but he is an athletic freak."
Now we're talking fifth round? I can barely handle all the questions and speculation about the first. You certainly can try a fifth-round QB project, but most of the time that begats a John Skelton or Logan Thomas. Temper those expectations.
As for what to do at 3, nothing has really changed. It feels like pass rusher makes the most sense for "value" at that spot, depending on how you feel about Mauigoa. I am sure Monti will explore the trade-down possibility, but again, who wants to trade up and for whom? Not a quarterback I wouldn't think.
