Message: [QUOTE="chugg21, post: 2583503, member: 3360"] Feels a little like the morning after Trump won the election. If a few weeks ago you told me that we could have Allen and Edmunds, still have a 3rd and gave up nothing from 2019 I would've signed up for it in a second. Watching it play out in real time was a little different as I was definitely a Rosen guy having lived in Southern Cal for the past few years. I'll give the front office the benefit of the doubt since they know at a minimum 100x more about football then I do and their careers are on the line with the pick. The cost of the picks in relation to some of the other trade ups seems a bit high but every trade is completely different and just because the Cards only gave up a 3 and a 5 to go up 5 spots from 15 to 10 doesn't really mean anything when 2 different humans are negotiating a move from 12 to 7. It looks nice in a chart next to each other but they're completely exclusive of each other and obviously if the Cards were trying to get to 7 and couldn't then the cost was a heckuva lot more than what they gave up to get to 10. Realistically looking at the roster, this is going to be another 2 years of building. The oline and wr groups are still a disaster, maybe bottom 3 in the nfl, lb group just moved up from bottom 3. Next offseason they will need replacements for Shady, Kyle and Clay but are staring at over $100 million in cap space to fix the holes. I expect the team to get off to a brutal start giving the front loaded schedule and the bye week is week 11 so that's where you'd expect Allen to take over but the Jags follow it in week 12. Even at home that is brutal. So maybe he takes over in week 14 and finishes out against the Jets, Lions, Pats, Dolphins to end the year. I'm not expecting anything beyond 6-10 despite last years overachieving. [/QUOTE]
